Why is VS so slow today? Navigating from one page to another is like walking through a swamp. I've also noticed it's been kind of slow off and on in recent days, but today takes the cake. Someone pull the gerbil out of blankfist's ass and put it on the wheel already.

Am I gonna have to turn off the computer and go outside?

Yeah, it hasn't been this bad in a long time. I've been trying to sift for the last hour and 90% of the time it takes a minute or more for a page to load and every couple of minutes there's what appears to be a site-wide timeout where nothing loads at all.

So to balance things out, let me pimp my recent http://www.videosift.com/video/Congo-Space-Program-Epic-Fail-or-Epic-WIN

Sorry all, we're having some yet unidentified problem with our servers today - we're looking into it.

Give SiftBot a booster shot or something. He must be feeling down.

Here's an update. We're a twin engine plane running on a single engine. One of our two web servers is down at the moment, so we are half speed. Lucky may have located the problem though and we hope to have both engines running before peak time tomorrow - (or else this plane will crash spectacularly)

In case of emergency, blankfist's moobs can be used as a floatation device.

Is this plane Oceanic 815? Are we going to crash onto an uncharted island? Is SiftBot the black smoke?

For me the slowdown seems to be resolved since ~2min ago.

*edit* For me the slowdown seemed to be resolved for a couple of minutes.

*edit2* 15min later and VS is lag-free again.

Backup - what's that? I'm happy to report that both engines are running, you can use the toilets now (though no congregating)

I am actually very glad every one is having problems - I was beginning to think my kids screwed up my computer playing more of those Free-Internet-Flash-Games!

(I'm currently running without anti-virus or firewall. Just can't afford to replace my old outdated one so I just removed it all..... Suggestions? Free-suggestions??)

Get avast or avg and spybot search and destroy installed. Get malwarebytes and scan with that too. They're all free. I don't know of a good free firewall.
