Why the site is running slowly

From tech god Stephen Paschall to N&R staff:

Folks,

The vendor who provides hosting for News-Record.com experienced a catastrophic hardware failure two days ago which impacted multiple systems in their environment, and they have been working to isolate and correct the resulting problems as quickly as they can identify them.

Translation: News-Record.com will likely continue to perform poorly (to say the least) for several hours yet.

I will provide additional information as it becomes available, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing you.

That sucks. Seems to be back to close to normal now.

"catastrophic hardware failure"
Egad. I know those words. Frightening words. Why-you-do-full-backup words. It's spotty now but much improved from yesterday.
