Connection speeds - something wrong with the server?

Yesterday at some point RFF was displaying the "could not connect to database" error window for a while and then started to be really slow. Since then it has been serving up pages at a crawl. Is something wrong with the server?

Same here in Oz - other sites, both local and international, seem OK.

I've seen the database message 4-5 times on Saturday and Sunday, posting a message takes an age (failed a couple of times)

Godawful here as well!

Getting home after a day away and catching up on threads was an excercise in patience!
