I thought it was in the 4.X range -- now I look and it's 4.95 -- and TWELVE blocks/hour all the sudden, when for the longest time it's been in the 8 - 9.5 range.

Did some supercomputer come online to mine Bitcoins?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

This is hardly surprising. A few days ago $/BTC was 9, then 10 then 12 then 14, 16 and right now it is 18.

I have to say, if I had a supercomputing cluster ready to mine bitcoins, I wouldn't bring it online in the day or two before a difficulty readjustment.  I'd bring it online in the hours _after_ said adjustment.  And then probably take it offline as soon as the difficulty readjusted to my cluster. 

Of course, that'd probably kill bitcoin, but only eventually.
Beware the weak hands!
