+1 -- Not only the site itself, but also any google gadgets I have, and the gmail sidebar firefox extension. All of them are excruciatingly slow.

It's not just you, it's been the same for me all day today.

Agreed, Everything is working slooowllyy for me as well. I suddenly appreciate it usual zippy-ness.

Incredibly slow for me as well. Bummed, I was in the mood to organize today.

It's very often slow, the last weeks. I wish they told us something about the reason. Like performing maintainance or bacause a strong growing number users (if so).

We posted about this on our status blog; the slowness should be resolving.

The site has been up for me but I have also experienced uncharacteristic delays throughout the day. Simple queries like adding due date, adding tags, and renaming tasks are taking up to 30 seconds. Oddly, changing the importance of a task still appears to be instant.

Site is still slow in Northeast U.S. as of 5:22pm EST.

Ah ha, back to its usual speed now...

Sorry for the inconvenience, all. :(

I've posted this update on our status blog post:

"The site slowness earlier today was caused by unusually high traffic that unfortunately our systems had trouble handling. Bob T. Monkey has spent the day making significant changes to our systems to help things run more smoothly should we experience freakish traffic events in the future. We’ll be continuing to monitor how everything runs as we hit our peak part of the day (when users in the US log in :) in a few hours, and will provide further updates should any hiccups occur. Thanks for your patience, everyone!"

We'll be continuing to update the status blog if there are more updates to this issue.

Thanks for the quick fix, BigCow. I didn't even know about that Status Blog, thanks.
