Ditto for me.
I'm glad that it is working well for some.
I actually have had some slow downs as well. I have been investigating if this were an issue with the data center network or the server. The other possibility is that one or more of the hops along the way to the server has had problems. This would explain a case where a site is slow for some but not others and would also explain how a site can be "the only one" I'm having trouble with. Everyone's Internet connection travels paths (hops) to reach any given server. This essentially means that you are constantly hopping off of routers/servers on the Internet to reach your destination server(s). There are thousands of these variations just in the U.S. If a hop is problematic and it is closer to the destination server, then more people will be affected. If it is farther away then people who are in a specific geographic area will be more likely to be affected while others won't. I have been testing this and in fact had periodic delays on one of the hops. For me it was from nlayer.net (ae2-20g.ar1.ord6.us.nlayer.net (69.31.110.254)) If you know how to do a traceroute you can test this from your own connection. On a Mac go to your terminal and type: traceroute eat.at On Windows from your command prompt I think it is: tracert eat.at
There has been an increased level of spambot activity hitting the server (hitting not compromising) and perhaps in conjunction with a higher level of normal traffic / user activity on the site slowed things down. One of the antispam services on the server being restarted does seem to have sped up the server overall.

HA! we drink coffee in any form---I believe we are the biggest coffee drinkers, per capita, in US
we have lots of local roasters and those little coffee wagons are on just about every corner. I was just in Finger Lakes NY area and was wondering where all the coffee drive-ups were hiding----not hiding, there aren't any. not even a Starbucks to be found. so odd to me.
