Anecdotally, I can say that I've seen the issue with QA causing code deployments to take far longer than they should. For example, right now we have code (one small feature) that QA wants almost two full weeks to test. I was just telling one of our QAs that I hope we start getting much better automated test coverage so that manual QA time can be brought down to a much more reasonable day or two before releasing code to the public.

It's funny, though, to hear you "hope" you start getting better automated test coverage. :) It happens pretty often that QA is the sole owner of automated tests, which has its own set of potentially bad incentives.
