part of the issue is that they say they upgraded the hardware.
but at the same time, they added some new "neat-o" things to the site, but none were things we couldn't live without.
so now it is adding more stuff to each page, which means it has to send out more data... so it is gonna just tax it more.
hard to tell if it is faster for me. well, that isn't true - the board is faster than when it was very slow - but that is like bragging that you can run faster than someone with one leg.
