Sihen, WBS: WHAT is going on?!

[Mercury]

We have had 1 or 2 network problems, these problems are sorted out and speeds should be back to normal, TheYak how are your speeds?

I first started seeing the stuttering/unresponsiveness problem in the first week of January. It is still as bad as ever with the ananzi page (as an example I just tested) taking over 50 seconds to start loading if I am not running a background ping. It takes just over a second if I am.

I have also noticed a distinct slowdown in http and ftp transfers since the halcyon days of December.
