We fight a steady ongoing war against server slowdown. As the site scales up we sometimes identify new hot spots in the code and try to resolve them. At times there are definately load issues on the site. One thing that you may want to try is to switch to the .com or .net domains as often they are lower load.

BTW, tye has been doing a lot of work lately on improving caching and other related speed up work, so you can expect sometime in the future that he rolls it all out and hopefully shave some seconds off peak-time fetches.
