Works fine for me.

I'm still seeing really variable performance and only from PyPI. The
main python website and all other websites I've tried are fine.

Are there any site load stats easily accessible? I wonder if someone is
maybe spidering PyPI in an antisocial way or some such...

Currently, (4:18 est, Delaware, USA) I have gotten several pages with 1
sec response.

The PyPM mirror program[1] runs at 0100hrs PST (= 0400hrs EST). What it does is to redownload the latest version of packages released in last two days (as reported by the `changelog` XMLRPC API). The download part is equivalent to running "easy_install $pkgname" sequentially - except duplicates are handled - for each of those packages and their dependencies. Only one XMLRPC API call is made per day.

I believe z3c.pypimirror - and soon PEP 381 - works in a similar fashion (except for less sophisticated scrapping logic).

It is not clear to me how this could overload the server. Does this happen everyday at the same time interval?
