Author Halo 2 and X-Box LIVE - problems URGENT !!

Any one else find it takes nearly 5 minutes for Halo2 to find a game in LIVE
then you join, play a 2 minute game (I appreacite some games last as long as
6 or 8 mins but thats not the point)
and get returned to the lobby and have to search for another game
taking a further 5 minutes ( it might be 2 or 3 mins but it feels like ages)

How annoying is this ?

Ghost Recon / Rainbow Six finds games in less than 20 seconds and you can
remain in the game all night !!!!

Am I missing a setting or does everyone else have this experience ?

Thanks

Yes, it is annoying. I tried Quick Match last night but it took ages to find
a game - and the game was very laggy. I know I can stick to my friends but
often I like to play a game or two before rushing to work or something. That
is not feasible at the moment.

I tend to find games fairly fast. And you can always create one if you
really can't find one.

I have this issue aslio, but the game that it eventually does find are non
laggy so I'm not too concerned. I think the experience will certainly
improve over the next littlw while as XBox live makes necessary changes to
accomodate.
