Database Mirroring latency issue

[Query Builder]

I have two SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Clusters situated in NJ and TX
data centers which are mirrored. NJ is the primary and TX is the DR.

I also have Transaction replication from this NJ Node to a totally
separate reporting SQL server in NJ.

The past weekend we had a network issue where packets were dropped so
the mirroring never caught up synchronizing. Now we have resolved the
issue and the connectivity is resumed.

Now I notice that my replication transactions are all pending for the
transaction logs to be flushed. But for that the mirroring needs to be
synchronized.

I notice that my mirroring monitor is showing as its sending
transactions but I am unable to determine how long I have to wait.. In
the mean time, my reporting environment is not upto date.

Is it possible to have the mirroring commit changes more often so I do
not have to wait for the whole mirroring to synchronize? Is there a
way I can manually move the logs and synchronize the mirroring so I
can reduce the time I have to wait for the replication to start..

Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in
advance..
