				Is it just me or has this site gotten really slow?
			 
			
			
			It often takes several seconds to load a page. Tried with three different browsers, logged in and not.  
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	This is a recent change, a few days, I think.  |

			Very slow for me. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	This has happened in the past as well. Maybe high traffic for some reason?  |

			Could it also have been maybe something in the connection to MR? I've seen that sort of thing happen in the past.

			I've been noticing that for the last while. I click to send a PM, click to switch forums, etc.  and it takes more than a minute to send/change/whatever. OTOH, that happened this AM with ~4600 users/guests online.
