Error occurred while processing request.

"Error occurred while processing request." In recent days I've gotten a lot of freezeups as I'm trying to save a post. I've just been taking it in stride because it's nothing new, but is happening more and more often recently. Ufez Jones just mentioned a similar problem, and there have been a few noticable doubleposts recently, which is a common mistake when this error occurs if one is not careful. I'm wondering how many others are noticing this too? I recommend keeping notepad handy, or just copy your post to the clipboard just before hitting preview or post. It saves having to recompose the message if it gets lost.

I am getting this error atleast 3 times a day on the average.

The server's busy sometimes. In general, it hasn't been as bad lately. We've gotten spoiled.

Both MeFi and MeTa have been horrendously slow from here in Korea, on and off, for about 5 days now. Today has seemed a bit better, though.

Actually, Zach, i was referring to the freeze-ups on the linked page (the sketch artist flash program). But i agree with your post anyway.
