    I did notice a longer delay, roughly a minute for BoM, just moments ago. The other pages I was surfing simultaneously loaded much faster.

    Mine still makes a slight (15s) pause before it starts loading. It's only the front page though.

    I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. The occasional 5-10 second delay, but that's not unusual.

    Right now it's working fine, but it wasn't working correctly earlier today, or Friday. It seems like it comes and goes.

    Great fun. Any idea how long the delays are expected to continue? I'm addicted to BoM and it's giving trouble getting my fix!

    1 to 2 minutes load times now. It takes a long time for the request to go through, but after that it loads fast. I have seen a similiar problem before and then it was solved with some tuning of the web server configuration.

    Same for me as well... our server provider can't seem to figure out why this is happening. First they blamed their tier 1 providers, who of course denied any responsibility, then they looked at the server, which again apparently wasn't the culprit. The fact that the loading times aren't persistently bad is only making it harder to trace the root cause. We're looking into it is all I can say unfortunately. We'll be moving to a new server in the next few days and if these issues appear there as well we'll be troubleshooting it from that point.
