Perhaps mine isn’t an isolated incident .. I’m real curious if the slowness symptom might be limited to those of us east of the Mississippi ?

I’m west of the Mississippi River by one state and it’s useless to attempt to get on FR when a big event is happening. I have no idea of the causation but it does occur to the West also.

Could be that, not being THAT far west, you're still being routed thru Chicongo (assuming that my observed latency drag there is an actual problem) ?

My memory benchmark for FR performance hearkens back to 9.11 when this site handled massive traffic for days with nothing like the current speed issues.

But my memory's not what it used to be, so maybe it was more problematic back than recall recalls . . .
