Which funding method are these customers using? -- credit cards, echeck, or existing paypal funds?
Credit Card or PayPal funds should get the order released immediately.
echeck ... they have to wait for the payment to clear.

Check your PayPal Express Checkout module and ensure that you've set the "Set Order Status" setting to "Processing [2]":> Set Order Status
Set the status of orders paid with this payment module to this value.
Recommended: Processing[2]
If you've changed your order status names/levels elsewhere in the admin, you'll have to alter accordingly.
- Admin->Configuration->Attribute Settings.
What are your settings for these:
- Downloads Controller Order Status Value >= lower value
- Downloads Controller Order Status Value <= upper value
The number of the value you set in step 2 above needs to be between the "lower" and "upper" values set here.
If you've changed any of these from the default configuration you'll have to alter accordingly.
