It is not normal to have an hour delay between the USA and France,
or between any two places: this is the Internet, and this is the
21st century.

Actually, if you do that math, this is a 34 seconds delay (assuming
the clocks at gnu.org and tuxfamily.net are accurately set), which
is much more normal.

Still, the sixty hours delay inside gnu.org is irritating.
