[solved] Delay in ajax response time

You could try this also using pure PHP.

PHP Code:

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

// Try this it might speed it up pure PHP
header('Content-type: application/json');
echo json_encode($json); 


Its the email send() that delays it.

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
