It's usually blazing fast for me, honestly. I've never seen anything but minute or two intervals of slow performance, then back to fast the majority of the time.

I'm in Asia and it's blazing fast for me now.
However, yesterday I noticed a period of very slow response and I traced the problem to BingBot hammering the site.
Most of the problems I have noticed of lately have been related to bots indexing the site in an abusive way.
Normally I block them, but I hesitate to blog the BingBot so I just set the crawl-delay to 1
Let's see if this helps slow down the bingbots!
PS: This is a constant problem that we have to deal with..... most bots do not follow the robots.txt directive, especially those from China, Russia, etc.

Thanks!
It's constant admin work trying to beat back all the misconfigured and malicious indexing bots. Seems they pop up and try to suck all the posts and threads from the site with no benefit to us or the site, only draining resources and causing the site to slow down.
Most bots, unfortunately, do not follow the robots.txt directives and must be blocked.
