Wow. Is the heat affecting the forums?
During my past 20 minute forums sessions no page has loaded in less than 5 seconds according to the "page created" time at the bottom of each page.
Add ~5 seconds to that and thats about how long it's taking to load each page.
I'm used to microseconds.
Dreamhost having trouble?
I see packet loss.

(And side note - what an odd path my packets follow to get from where I actually am... comcast backbone routing is odd)
