What I would like to see is the client to MSA entries. The "Milter
insert" is done near the end of the SMTP traction. DKIM signing a
message should not take more than a second. In practice, it is much
less than that. Without actual information from the mail log, it is
difficult to say what is going on.

The message I sent to you took 39 seconds from client submission to
the MSA and from there to the MTA where it was relayed it to
gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. The actual DKIM signing took less than
one second. An incorrect reading of the mail log might have us
conclude that there was some DKIM signing or another problem.
