Gmail Push Notifications Significantly Delayed

I noticed this Gmail delay as well in the last couple of days. Delay varies whereas before I would get the notification a couple of seconds after getting the Gmail popup on my computer.
 
Not on a Nexus 4(S3 though), but just started getting gmail delays today too. This showed up in a google search, so it could be a more widespread issue.
 
I haven't noticed this, but if it's happening on phones other than the Nexus 4, it is more than likely a Gmail app issue.

By the way, have you all tried turning on the setting to keep wifi on during sleep to "always"? The setting is there to save battery, but if it's not set to always, you may not get your Gmail push notification right away while your phone is sleeping.
 
I've noticed that this delay occurs with last gmail update. Must be some kind of bug with this update. I hope that Google fixs this in next release. It's boring receiving emails sometimes 20/30 minutes after receiving them in my gmail web client.

ED: I have a Sony Xperia S, with Android 4.0.4 and Gmail 4.2.1 and delay issues, unfortunately...

Same problem here - checked battery guru and it had modified the Gmail app setting (via what I don't know?)
Changed it back to "always" and uninstalled.

Didn't completely fix the problem though :(
 
Apparently some commercial routers have a feature called SIP ALG which they implement badly ( Lookup "SIP ALG" on the web -> a page by void-info.org).
I have a Netgear C6300 (AC1750) cable modem/router and Android running on a Samsung 6S with Verizon as the carrier.
I found out I wasn't getting push notifications with GMail and also bad to nonexistent internet connectivity with several mobile apps (Wasn't able to setup Instagram on my mobile).
Browser connectivity was perfect all along.
After turning off SIP ALG in the router (Advanced -> Setup -> WAN Setup -> check "Disable SIP ALG") I started getting push notifications immediately.
