The board seems particularly speedy today, especially some searches I ran. System upgrade of some kind, or did I just get lucky? Are system upgrades routinely announced in ATMB or anywhere else?

The board was slower than slow, and stopped dead in places, around nine hours ago. Maybe that put off some of the clientele, and freed the system up?

If so … _ssshhh_ (don’t tell 'em!) 🙂
