Whoops! Spoke too soon. 

Noticed it's been struggling a bit the last two or three days.

Pretty slow here today.

Yes, I've had a number of 20 second waits over the last few days.

As Anton du Beke would say "Slow, slow, quick, quick, slow"
(But mainly slow)

Checking it out now.  Sorry!

Just had 32, 54, 38, 71 second query times while browsing the Real Railway Discussion section, from approx 11:00-11:04.

We need some more money in the meter - the forum, for the last 15/20 minutes, has been that slow it is almost going backwards! I have just tried searching for a topic and eventually got this message -

Due to high stress on the server, the search function has been automatically and temporarily disabled. Please try again in a short while.

Handily there is a donation pot top right of the forum page where we can all pop some money in the meter 

It is slow and the time from clicking NEW on a post for the page to load is slow but once loaded is okay scrolling that page, then repeat for next page. It may be the interweb connection at the server rather than specifically the server but either will still cause an issue either way.

Yes, happening here in Australia, too.

Strangely it's quite decent speed for me this morning

Maybe it's me being full of pizza and beer in Mollymook golf club 

It was very slow 2o minutes ago but not at all bad now.

If you scroll to the bottom of the page, there is some diagnostic information, including a line like this:

Page created in 4.842 seconds with 23 queries.

Those times in seconds that I've just reported are from that diagnostic info. It is the length of time that the server takes to satisfy the queries required to build the page before it's transmitted, and implies that the server is being overloaded.

Now showing........Page created in 0.421 seconds with 50 queries.
