[Python] After celery delay() called, it takes almost 5 to 10 seconds for the tasks to start...

I'm currently working on an app with following configuration:

Django 1.8

Python 2.7

Celery 3.1.x (Amazon SQS as borker url)

I'm currently running multiple celery each with concurrency = 4. So my question is when I call celery delay() in my code, it takes almost 5 to 10 seconds for the tasks to start executing in my worker.

I want to know why I'm getting this delay and how can I reduce it so that my takes the task immediately as I call delay().

I have checked the same using RabbitMQ and I can see that the tasks starts executing as soon as I call delay().

Thanks In Advance
