Regarding the delay from September to February:
I've always figured it was (1) the "February" magazine is really printed in December, and actually finished (for content) weeks beforehand, and (2) it might take a while for mail from the far-flung branches, or the infamous "countries under ban", to reach NY headquarters. So maybe they don't get the reports from all "238 lands and islands of the sea" until sometime in November.

But if you consider that these conditions existed all along when compiling data and even when there were no computers as we know them today, still the numbers came out in the January WT. You would think it would be speedier rather than longer.

True enough to speed up issue (1). But faster computers in New York don't cause the mail delivery from Pago Pago to arrive more quickly.
Of course, the numbers are utterly meaningless anyway, what with people makeing up numbers on teh reports, so it's all rather moot.
