Soooooooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...

Wtf is going on with LJ this week? If it had only happened since the rumour of the sale broke, I'd put it down to everyone panicking and running screenscraper backup tools and so on, but it started a couple of days before that.

I'm still not convinced the two things aren't related, but I can't see why or how.

Update: normal connection speeds resumed on the 9th for me. *shrug*
