I'm a night worker mostly, and nearly every night things slow down to a point where sometimes I just quit. I did a search the other night trying to find a thread for a new poster, and after 5 minutes of waiting for the return, I gave up.
This morning I waited up to 2 minutes for pages to respond, and that was after an earlier bout of not getting the site loaded at all. I know there are some maintenace issues that go on overnight, and unfortunately, that's when I'm on the most.
