Mass RMV is slow too

When you perform an online transaction with the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, the completion screen displays this message:
Please note that your transaction may not actually be processed for several hours. In the meantime, the transaction ID above confirms that the system has received your request. Please print this screen or write down your transaction ID for future reference.

Once your request has been processed, the Registry of Motor Vehicles will send you a confirming e-mail message. It is important that you save copies of all receipts and transaction screens.

If you do not receive an e-mail confirmation within three (3) business days, your transaction may not have been processed.
Hmm, another skinny quill pen using guy backend processing system.

UPDATE:
Received confirming email at 1:47:17 saying that my online transaction was completed at 1:44 PM. So it took them about four hours to complete the transaction and notify me.
