Does anyone feel that the site is slow or does the site seem to be slower than it was a few weeks ago?

The reason I ask is because I just wrote an app that is running on my server and it gets gauge data from the USGS, and several other water authorities in Canada and the US. It is a monster, and when I say monster I am not kidding. While the app executes the data parsing and storage procedures it runs at like 100k - 200k of paged memory and it is hogging like 40% of the proc during the execution of each connection with each data provider. Of course the difference is a change from just Washington to All 50 states + Guam, Puerto Rico, Canada, and parts of Mexico. So were are stepping up a bit more data in the process. lol from like 100 Gauges to over 8k.

Oh man it looks like I might need a full server just to retrieve Gauges, and other data that we want to syndicate. If we ever did a snowfall, waterlevel, weather etc.... The thing could become a monster.

Anyways I am just curious because I am watching this hog closely but it does not seem to be affecting my experience on the site yet. Anyone else?
