The flag I think you're referring to was a recommend closure flag, which results in the post [going to the Close Votes queue](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/191992/why-arent-some-helpfully-flagged-questions-closed/191994#191994) – not the actual flag queue, which currently has no backlog.

Our flag response time is pretty good at the moment, sitting at a little under two and a half hours. It had recently been even better than that recently, but I've admittedly been a bit distracted this week with the birth of my son (excuses!).

So...the real question is whether or not more attention be paid to the review queues, on account of the fact that there aren't many members here who can deal with such things. The answer to that is of course yes, given that for my part I had mostly just overlooked them here up until this point.

I'll make a point to try and pay more attention to them from here on out, and I'll be sure to take a look at the items in the close queue later today.
