This is by design, as there is a 5 minute grace period when editing posts. If we notified immediately we might send a post that is in the process of being revised. This can be changed in your site settings if you prefer less grace period for editing posts after submission.

The other setting that affects this is the email polling time, again, just edit your site settings to taste.
