Ask HN: Is the Hacker News site is a little less responsive?

Over the last few weeks, the HN website has been a little slow for me. Loading the homepage takes a good amount of time. I was wondering if this was the case for most people or if I was simply imagining it.

I love Hacker News, and would love to help in any way that I can if indeed there is a problem. I also wanted to thank Paul for putting up this website and building such a fantastic community around it.
