Massive slowness throughout mefi.
Is anybody else experiencing 2-5 second load times for every single action on mefi? It's happening to me across all of the subsites.
My raw ping times are on the order of 70ms. Although somebody who doesn't live out in the boonies might have different results.
I know we're in transition. I'm not irate or anything. Just reporting performance issues.

This is addressed in the thread below. Things should be speeding up.

cortex : I'm hoping for a pluperfect.
Right, but since there is a chance that time travel is involved, we have to rely on Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations, so what I think we'd be looking for here might be; Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional. (Though, to be honest, I didn't read past that page, so there might be something more fitting in later chapters).
