When configuring your broker domain, you are prompted to deploy all changes to the Configuration Manager. It is possible to set your user preferences to not prompt you to deploy after each change. Refer to Changing Broker Administration preferences.

The delay depends on the network configuration, or the number of changes to make to the configuration of the broker domain during the deployment.
