It's been a rather troublesome effort to attempt to speed up the queue. Nothing much that we have tried has succeeded in speeding things up. It's an ongoing effort the team has been trying to resolve for a long time.

The availability of reviewers has always been a problem, there is never enough people to review all the themes thoroughly and themes authors come up with lots of new ways to do things every day. Reviewers always come across things they have never seen before and we try to review every file and function in a theme.

The more complex a theme is the longer it takes to review. Themes have grow much more complex over time.
