Yes, and so is yahoo!  But, noticed yesterday, at noonish, everything
slowed... then, two hours later  sped up a bit!   Evening was a bog...
then, about 11 PM sped up...

Must be a lot of folks on the web!

I also noticed the news release about the huge China earthquake, and the
broken Chinese firewall, then, the second Cyclone on the way to Myamar.

Real news breaking out is contributing to the traffic...
