Autoop troubles

Greetings,
I have a channel set to +autoop a couple of users at join, and it works - but slowly. It takes what looks like about 15 seconds for the ops to take effect on channel join. Is this normal, or can it be adjusted?
In my .chan file I noticed an option set in there that reads "aop-delay 5:30' - does this have anything to do with the issue?

Also, I am fuzzy on the difference between setting a user's flag to +o and +a. The way I understand is that a user can be +a and if joining a channel marked +autoop, will be autooped. If the user is marked +o will they also be autooped? And if not, how may a user request ops from a bot if auto op is not set?

that aop-delay means that ops is given on a random timer between 5 and 30 seconds after user joins chan. +a means user is always auto-opped regardless if the channel is set +autoop or not. +autoop means it will also autoop +o users. users can request ops on non-autoop chans by either /msg bot op pass, or by dccing the bot and doing .op nick chan on partyline (more secure)
