Site slow to load

Was fine yesterday but it's taking at least a minute for each page to load tonight - except for DB which is only a little slower.
This is with Broadband.
All other sites are loading as per normal.
Anyone else got the same problem?

Same problem here, unbelievable delays at both the office and the house and both are high speed setups.

Same problem here as well guys. I have a high-speed set-up too and I'm hard pressed go get a page to load within a minute. All other selected sites are still screaming and load quickly.
The FAL Files have gotten very Slooooooooo....Like watchin' P-nut butter drip.
What's Up????

Speed is up again, though still not 100%.

The odd part was DB & Conspiracy being unaffected

Tinfoil hat anyone?

Insufferable isn't it?

These spates seem to coincide with the disappearance of the
"server busy" messages for contributors.

Frankly, I'd rather get a "server busy" message than have to
stare at this while I wonder WTF?

One would think that my connection speed should not be an issue.

It's a toss up guys..

If I lock up the server so it loads fast we end up with the dreaded "Server too busy" messages.. if I open it up and let the server load go higher, then the site loads slower than molasses.

We're working on the hardware related issues and planning for a new server which should eliminate the issues, but it's not going to happen over night.
