Guess I could be wrong, but we know the island does funny things with machines. We don't have any clear evidence of its effect on time.

My thinking here is that Daniel talked to the freighter "live"... complete with the freighter saying that the payload was delivered, then some time later (I presume actually 31 minutes on the island), the payload appeared on the island. So the freighter talked to Daniel, and reported a quick delivery, yet delivery was delayed. I am flummoxed.
