I have PIO for my family of four (2 + 2). I am planning to visit Inda in June (in 3 months). I want to apply for OCI and I am afraid if I get my OCI by June. What do you think?

3 months seems ample time to complete OCI processing via SFO consulate. If for some reason it's not done, you can still visit India on your PIO cards and collect your OCI docs after your return. So apply ASAP.

How often are docs dispatched from Delhi ? I would imagine instead of sending each application separately, they send them in batches ?

Also, interestingly, my status showed 'Printed on 3/23' up until yesterday, and now it says 'Printed on 3/25'.
 
It's so erratic in timeline and no set pattern.I recd my OCI with in 4 calender weeks where as my daughter's already passed 6 weeks!and NO apparent reason for not processing in same time of mine.
 
Strangely, the print date changed from 22 to 23 and then there seemed no activity / update until today. The docs have been dispatched. So back to the waiting game for the next 7 - 10 days.
At least I do not have to check back till next Friday.
