I've been plagued with frequent, intermittant, slow response only from the PM site for a couple weeks.   As seen in recent threads, some (but by no means all) fellow monks have had similar problems.

When tye mentioned in the CB that he's not had this problem, but that he has some nodelets disabled, I ran (not walked) to user settings.   Deselecting "CPAN nodelet" and "Everything Developer" nodelet seems to have fixed the problem for me.   epoptai tells me that "Other Users" and "Chatterbox" also slow things down, but I don't use them anyway, preferring framechat instead.

What remains selected in my nodelets are:

• input
• info
• leftovers
• function
• voting
• personal

In any event, I would still encourage fellow monks who can spare the cash (myself included) to contribute to Perl Monks via the offering plate.
