Form 2 approval time - wow

I'm still relatively new at this, so some of these things are astonishing to me.    I did a couple of e-Form 1 SBR's a few years ago as a way to test whether ATF would accept the NFA trusts I was drafting for clients.  Those each took about two months to get approved.   Now that I have my SOT, I just submitted an e-form 2 to make an AOW, and was amazed that I got it back approved in less than 17 hours.  I was expecting it to take at least as long as the forms 3 that I've had so far (a few days).

Yet at the same time, one of my estate planning clients had a wait of almost two years to get a machinegun transferred to him (first the paper form 5 to the surviving spouse, then paper form 4 to the client's trust).   It's wild to me how the different approval times can be so far apart.
