I think DexX is correct for the most part, but I also think there is some degree of server irregularity. Some things zip right through, and some things take a while. Once everyone has made the switch and all those people read that article that someone posted about, this place is going to get swamped.
Perhaps Brad should think about selling ad space. If he does it in a non-intrusive way (no pop-ups, no time-elapsed frames that reload a new ad, etc) then he can make a bit of cash off the sheer volume of people, and it won't detract too much from our enjoyment.
