[solved] Delay in ajax response time

Hi When I click on my approve button it sends a confirmation letter to the user and adds the members information to the main members table from the members temp table.

Every thing works fine but the email is causing about a 10 second delay for my ajax. Once the accout approve it refreshes the div but takes 10 second to refresh because of email library.

How to make that it faster.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(document).on('click', '#button-approve', function() {
        $.ajax({
            url : "<?php echo base_url(); ?>admin/members/dashboard/approve_member_login",
            type : "POST",
            dataType : "json",
            data : {
                "approve_member" : true,
                "member_temp_id" : $(this).attr('data-id')
            },
            success : function(data) {
                if (data['success'] = true)
                {
                    $('#new_member_approve').load(document.URL + ' #new_member_approve');
                }
            },
          
       });
    });
});        
</script>

PHP Code:

public function approve_member_login() {

    $json = array();

    if ($this->input->post('approve_member')) {

        $newmembers_info = $this->get_temp_members($this->input->post('member_temp_id'));

        $config = Array(
            'protocol' => 'smtp',
            'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
            'smtp_port' => 465,
            'smtp_user' => 'email',
            'smtp_pass' => 'password',
            'mailtype'  => 'html', 
            'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
        );


        $this->load->library('email', $config);
        $this->email->set_newline("\r\n");

        $this->email->from('myemail', 'Admin');
        $this->email->to($newmembers_info['email']);
        $this->email->subject('Account Approved');
        $this->email->message('Hi, Just to confirm that your account has now been approved at Admin Area');

        $this->email->send();

        $insert_data = array(
            'username' => $newmembers_info['username'],
            'email' => $newmembers_info['email'],
            'password' => $newmembers_info['password'],
            'firstname' => $newmembers_info['firstname'],
            'lastname' => $newmembers_info['lastname'],
            'status' => '1'
        );

        $this->db->set($insert_data);
        $this->db->insert('members');

        $this->db->where('member_id', $this->input->post('member_temp_id'));
        $this->db->delete('members_temp');


        $json['success'] = true;

    }

    $this->output->set_content_type('application/json');
    $this->output->set_output(json_encode($json));

}
