MeFi is weirdly halting and slow whenever I load the site, or click into a thread. So, noticing my status bar, what I does is, I adds js.spellcheckthis.com to the 'Block retrieval of URL' list in my favorite local-proxy-crud-removing app, and fazowie, it's snappy again. I know some people love their spellcheckers, but if it's having the same effect on everyone, it seems like a... suboptimal solution.

There seem to be fewer JRun errors lately and the site seems snappy. Are congratulations in order?

So. Jay-Run was smacking me around earlier when I tried to visit the site. Enough post-election traffic to cause problems or something else? Just curious, the site was really speedy last night when I was checking the huge election threads.

The site is snappier than it has been in a long time, at least for me. Has the new hardware been dropped in?

Has mathowie got some more bandwidth or other upgrade? MeFi/MeTa seem very zippy to me, past couple of days.

does the site seem slow to anybody lately, or is it me? there are long waits when i click on comments, or basically anything which loads from the database.

We seem to be experiencing some slow sledding here. Any ideas?

Is the 5k affecting MeFi this morning? I keep getting timeouts and server too busy messages.
