Curse.com takes about 24 hours to release a project, or an update. WoWInterface is the fastest place around, where you usually only have to wait a few hours, or minutes, all depending on the time of day, current traffic and whether it's a new project or an update.

Just like an earlier poster said, this is a process where a mod, a real person, has to check every file you upload manually. It doesn't cost anything to host addons on WoWInterface, you don't pay for customer support. But still WoWInterface has a responsibility towards it's probably millions of users. Files need to be trojan/virus-free. Projects need to be authentic. Copyright issues need to be addressed. They can NOT automate the process of uploading addons, as that would end in WoWInterface being closed down by the government in a blaze of copyright infringement fire. And yet, through all of this, they manage to get addons online in a few hours at most.

I'm going to be a little rude here, and say that a little patience goes a long way. A few hours for a project to get approved is actually very very fast.


EDIT:
Usual typos.
