Dave,

Tha slow respoonse is a network/hardware problem. A switch, a router, a bad NIC card, rogue processes on the server, ALL could cause the problem. Not to mention a DDOS attack.

I'm not sure about the hardware explanation. I was up early early this am. FR was FAST! I think we're just getting too much legit traffic due to interest in the election. Could be DDOS also.
