First of all, I'd like to thank you all for the early wake-up call this morning. :)
The reason that the site was running rather slowly through the first hour or two of the slashdotting was that we were pegged at 100mbps through our load balancer. It appears as though we've got about five mbps of slack in the line now, so the site should be performing better than it was previously.
I suppose that this is the reason that companies such as Akamai exist. ;)
