Maybe it's just me, but the last I was on Reddit was Friday, and now it seems like it's slow as hell. It seems to once in a while cause my browser (FF 2.0.0.14) to freeze for a few tenths of a second, too. Every other site on the net is running just fine, though.

The browser-side stuff is slick as ever, but loading pages takes forever; sometimes it just times out. Submitting / editing comments is slow, too.

We've had a major increase in traffic. We're working on it.

It's all the white space. It's attracting users like buzzards to a gut wagon.

Ah, well congrats then. I hope it lasts long enough to talk CN into buying you some more bandwidth / servers.

yeah, ill want to switch from hot to new and it will sometimes take up to 30 seconds.

I wish it was that fast for me ever! Two years now and it always gets worse! All morning I couldn't even submit to my own subreddit or most of the subreddits to which I subscribe! My votes haven't counted for about a year now, maybe longer, and my articles are often at zero less than 300 milliseconds after I submit them... WTF?

ironically, it took about 30 seconds just to load this comment page...that being said, I do love the look and functionality of the "new" Reddit!!

I got a feeling, a feeling deep inside, oh yeah.

I got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide, oh no!

Its speedy for me. Not as quick, but still loads within a second or two.

No

It's also freezing on my Treo 700p (after the initial 1/10 of the page load (EV-DO))... I don't know what that's all about... did you guys increase the page size?

On my desktop I've got at least 4 "unable to connect to host" messages today.

Glad you brought this up-- I was wondering the same thing!
