Seems a little slower to me too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking for myself only, I'd rather see no quotes than either the same quote forever or a slow board.
You speak for me as well.

Yep, it does seem slower.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My gut says the board is way slow since reinstating the quotes, but then again, that's my gut and not an objective anything. Could just be the afternoon slowdown, either of the internet or my own brain.
Me too. OTOH, I'm not entirely sure I would have noticed if Tom hadn't mentioned it, so I'm happy leaving any decisions in the hands of people with access to actual numbers.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Interestingly, it has not seemed slower to me.

Seems as fast to me, on my old, slow work machine.

Haven't noticed any change in speed.

Our wings are not tired.
Speed seems the same to me. Quotes! Yay!

I haven't noticed any slowdown at work, but I'll see how it is at home on dial-up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Hmmm...
Looking at the system stats, it turns out there is always a system spike on weekdays between 11:00am and 1:00pm board time.
Today's spike was a little larger than usual; the board did slow down at the time the quote generator was reenabled, but there's no way to establish if those two events were correlated.
We need to see if the performance of the board is impacted over several days.
I can make pretty graphs, if you like.
