does it make a difference whether you throw in the extract as soon as you hit 212 or if you wait for a rolling boil? about 210 right now
 
. . . guessing you know to prevent scorching, pull the kettle off the burner and stirring in well before returning to heat.
 
I add extract at any temp above 140 (with the flame out). I find that if it's under 140 sometimes I have solubility issues, and it takes much longer.
