I am on Ubuntu 16.04, with the latest version of Bitcoin Core, synced and working.

I would like to know why is there a little delay of approximately 1 sec, sometimes more, before a received transaction appear on the console when we run for instance bitcoind -printoconsole, if I check the tx on blockchain.com for instance, I can see that the transaction were received 1 or 2 sec before I even see it on my node, why is there a delay ? I have try on another ubuntu server with a super fast connection and it's the same thing. By the way, it's the same thing when I send a Tx, it's submitted and appear on the network 1-2 secs after.

So my question is why is there such a delay even on a node ? Is it possible to reduce it ?

I have already asked the same question on the bitcoin repo on github and someone told me that it is an intentional delay against attackers, but what I don't understand is why blockchain has access to it before node ? If they can it mean that we can too right ?

Just like when few years ago and even months, some brainwallet were swipped within milliseconds.

Thanks in advance !
