So when I watch my live stream from a separate PC there seems to be any where from 10 to 15 seconds of delay. Is this common?
Question / Help 10+ second delay on stream?

Yup thats the version I am using. I just want to make sure everything is working the way its suppose to. I get kind of anal trying to make sure everything is working right.
Another factor could be the server you are streaming too. Twitch varies with their server response time, all of them are not created equal, and can increase the broadcast time to view time if you choose a non-optimal one.
You didn't mention which service you were using, so use the Twitch service as an example to your situation.

I do use Twitch.tv and my server I have set for global load balancing
The global load balancing might be the cause of having a long delay. What it does is randomly pick a server to stream to, which could be far away from where you're streaming. Choose a server that is closest to you in OBS. If the closest server is Frankfurt then choose Amsterdam or London instead. This should probably reduce the delay a little bit.
