As some can probably tell, the E-Blah server has been extremely slow for the past couple hours.  Also, the problem has happened a few times over the past few weeks.  Previously we have simply restarted the server (which worked 50 percent of the time).

We are aware of the problem and are trying to fix it.  I'm not sure what is causing it, but it may be a program running on another users account on the server.

While this may not be a problem to most, there will probably be a long wait when accessing the Administrator Control Panel.  This is because there is JavaScript that pings the E-Blah servers to determine if your version is out of date.  The page doesn't show until after the response of this file is returned.

I'm sorry for the trouble and hope to have it solved quickly.

As a final note, the server is creating pages quickly (always less than a half a second).  The server load is pretty high, though.  I think the problem is with either Apache or the network around the server.
