So the site has been doing it again these last couple days.  Anyone know what causes it?  I look forward to the day that this site is lightening fast, and I know it will come. 

Anyone else having any problems?

No, all running smoothly on my end.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

If you run an web accelerator, the web site could auto-block your IP temporarily as a DOS attacker.

There was some slowdowns last night when the new weekly stats went up for US and Japan, but in general I am not aware of any problems.

Yep.  The slowdown usually only lasts for about 15-30 minutes at a time though.  After that it's back to normal.  Unless you're on the site a lot, you probably wouldn't even notice it.
