itsjustme,
I'm sorry you have been having an issue. We aren't holding back on available bandwidth, and we aren't lacking needed bandwidth that we are aware of.
We did have to do a small site update to fix a problem earlier this afternoon which did not require us to bring down the site. It's possible that could have slowed things down for a brief period. I'm not sure that event accounts for what you experienced but, but it might have.
As an FYI for you, if/when you are experiencing slowness from the site, my advice would be to file a support case at the time it is happening. That gives us a record of the incident and from that we might be able to see a pattern, if one exists.
The reason I say this is that we don't have the staff to be continuously looking at the forums all day, and so if you post about a problem like this here that it may not be seen for a while.
We have support coverage 24x7 though, so if you file a support case when you have an issue, it will get on our radar sooner.
