Don't have experience myself but in the past decision were taken in Dublin. Now application from Ireland are sent to the UK for a decision and I suspect that slows the process a bit (so the 3 weeks on the website is probably accurate).

Generally, the advise given to applicants is three weeks. This is in-line with UKBA service standards, which do not just apply to a particular VAC.
