So my experience today was a little different. I started a little earlier than the last few days, starting at around 1pm. It was a little slow, but nothing like the past few days. As I got closer to 2pm (now), it was getting more sluggish. Now I don't know if this is because I was making edits (which I find slows things down) or if it was growing traffic at that hour. All I know is I wanted to validate as much as possible before things got hairy.
