Ask HN: Is HN having problem keeping up today?
It seems to be a side-effect of Facebook being down, attracting so much attention to HN that it might as well be a DDoS attack.Sorry everyone—there are performance improvements in the works which I hope will make a big difference, but it's not something we can roll out today.p.s. You can read HN in read-only mode if you log out. Should be way faster.
