Don't ask me to find the interview/dev post about it. They talked about this sometime before launch.
It's weird that it's always felt the opposite for me. Whenever I am on my Dragoon I am waiting for an hour or more for the DF but if I switch to, say, my Puglist or Black Mage I'm usually waiting for double what the timer says (example: timer says 8 minutes, I'm waiting about 16 minutes). Maybe the DF just hates Dragoons (like everybody else).
