To add my own anecdote to this thread, I very regularly see periods where the site is completely unresponsive (read timeouts) from both at work (with a nasty HTTP proxy) and at home (straight DSL connection). Generally things work fine for 5-10 minutes, and then there will be a 1-3 minute period where I cannot get a response from the site at all. When it does respond, though, it's generally pretty speedy.
Though I stopped trying to pursue this when I asked others if they were seeing similar problems. Until this thread, everyone I'd spoken to had stated they saw none of the problems I saw.
Could this be an issue with an ISP slightly upstream from PM? That might explain a significant number of us seeing frequent problems while others (whose data may be routed separately) see no problems. *shrug*

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
