NO! I'm not asking if I'm slow! I know the answer.

When I click on the "Show unread posts since last visit." and "Show new replies to your posts." link they have been insanely slow to load lately. I know my troubleshooting. This occurs on multiple networks, multiple computers and/or devices, different operating systems, etc...
The search feature has been awfully painful lately, too. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Based on the recent downtime post, it looks like we're hosted by Google... If others are experiencing this, could someone please contact Google about this?
Many thanks!
