If you both used the same keyserver, I'd expect it to work straight
away.  But if you were each using different servers, I'd expect there
might be some propagation delay.

I haven't used public keyservers for a long time.  Back then, and
probably still now, someone was watching keyservers and spamming every
new contact added to them.  I uploaded a key with more than one address
attached to it, and *straight* *away* all the associated addresses
started to receive spam, together.  Did a test by adding yet another
address to the same key, and got the same results.

Not impressed!
