Big time growing pains. We're getting more requests per second and
don't have the app instances to handle them - most of what you're
doing is just waiting for an available instance.

As such, we're in the process of adding more instances today. We've
also been working for quite a while on a bigger re-architecture to
help remove our dependency on GFS (which is a big growing pain). We
plan to move to beefier servers and roll out the new sharded backend
really soon.

I wish I had a timeframe for you guys. We are all GitHub users too and
want the site to be fast - please bear with us while we work on it :)
