What has happened to make FreeRepublic so slow?

I have noticed that FR has become abysmally slow in response and page loading in the past day or so. I've noticed a few responses in the threads where other Freepers mention in passing the slowness. I checked it on several of my client's locations. Everywhere I brought up FR was slow.
Sometimes takes up to 30 seconds to load the browsing pages. Moving to a topic, is a bit faster but not much.
I also noticed last night that doing title searches that used to bring up pages of responses now only bring up less than a page.
John, Jim, what's going on? Are we being hit by a Denial of Service attack?

I decided to reduce my posts to almost zero the last two days.

Everywhere else is really quick. I just upgraded from DSL to AT&Ts Uverse... going from around 568Kb per second to 6Mb pers second... and FreeRepublic SLOWED DOWN!

This is nothing. You shoulda tried using FR about 12 hours ago.

There’s just more of us here drowning our sorrows in typed conversation these days.

It’s because of a Black Barry virus.
To: Swordmaker
Posters are using too many BIG words. And there's too many misspelled words so the guy that looks up stuff in the dictionary is really busy.

Yep. Slow for me, too. All day today. It's annoying. My guess would be a subtle DOS bug from an 0bama disciple. We already know what 0 thinks of Rush. I think we need to make an example of whoever is responsible.
To: Tarpon; All
Definitely lots of latency with FR lately, I got some 404's the other day too.
Maybe this is a good sign, that people want to move onto more Conservative opinions, or maybe it's a DOS issue, maybe the Moderators could look at FR's dns records and look for requests to see if some scriptkiddy is pinging the FR servers.
To: silverleaf
Unbearably slow. I wonder if FR trying to save a buck or two or other issues beyond control.
To: Swordmaker
Reloading this page averages about 18 seconds in Firefox on a broadband connection. I have seen none of the dreaded proxy errors after posting, but FR is certainly slower than usual.

Actually it looks about the same to dial up. Slow as normal.

It’s not constant. Usually the page loads fine. But every so often it just stalls.
