Excuse me for assuming you all had quantitative knowledge of the activity details behind my question.
Two weeks ago, what may be the largest contest activity of the year, the CQWW CW Contest took place. CQ has received over 9000 logs and many logs had thousands of QSO's. The LOTW upload delay was reported to have peaked at about 8 hours.
This last weekend was the ARRL 160-meter Contest, a much smaller event. There were around one tenth as many participants. A few had 1000 QSO's, and no stations made over 2000 contacts. The LOTW load should have been one or two orders of magnitude less, but the LOTW upload delay is twice that following the larger event.
Both ARRL Sweepstakes were larger events than the 160-meter Contest, and I received no reports of unusual delays following them.
There might be something else causing this?
I was also hoping for a reply from someone at HQ, who might have more than a guess at what is happening.

Some advice I came across a few days ago:
“ Asked a number of my contesting friends about the LOTW delays after CQWW CW. None of them are upset about it.
The delay is not unexpected. One comment was that it isn't unusual for there to be longer lines at the post office in mid-December.
A suggestion was to notify users, and possibly ask them to space out their submissions.”
There you go.
