It's not that slow, but also not lightning fast anymore.
A few times lately it has failed to connect when I click a link or post something, which is rather annoying. But at least loading the page again has typically worked.

I've had a few problems the last couple of days with more posting errors, which are more common when the servers are slow. Things like double-posts and the error that it thinks I'm trying to double-post within 30 seconds.
Yup, it's slow again. It took me over 30 seconds to load this page.

It is a lot slower on firefox than IE for me though.

While editing the wiki over 4 hours on Sat/Sun, i noticed snappy periods, followed by slower once, followed by time outs in no particular orders. No rhyme or reason I can see.

Circvs Maximvs, too, but more hit than miss. ENWorld has had more trouble for me lately, but I suspect it's a matter of how much more traffic there is on ENW vs. CM.
I also see major hold ups, to the point of "no response" errors, for periods of minutes, inter-mixed with periods of really great performance.

The combat system should be based on the world design. The world design should not be based on the combat system.
My 4 year old ties a towel to her shoulders and pretends to be a superhero. Roleplaying is not between the covers of a book.
As an extension of that, if you tell me that any game is the same just because you roleplay the same, then as far as I am concerned, you don't get the point.

Add me on to the list of users finding weird time-outs and slowness. I wish I could win the lottery so I could give Morrus et al the most leet server space and speeds EVAR!!!11!!!1!
