after the 2-3 day approval mine have come in the mail quickly thereafter. i think all the 5k checks are express-delivered, no?

No, all checks come standard US mail (if you are in the US). All checks >$2500 are supposed to come Fedex, but this has never become reality.

I've requested a bunch of checks from FTP over the last couple months and they've taken from 4 to 10 business days from when I requested them to arrive. One check never arrived, and it eventually had to be re-issued (that process took a month and a whole lot of e-mails to FTP support).
