Ethereum network clogged & slow

[icemanparachuter]

Has everyone noticed that the ethereum network is extremely clogged and slow these past few days? I've found several contracts and wallets that are sending out minuscule amounts of tokens one at a time at extreme gas prices. Do you think that if they were to send at reasonable gas levels (<10gwei) that the network would come down as miners are willing to confirm all the transactions, or is this truly an easy way to disrupt the network by simply paying extreme gas levels and sending through thousands of transactions?

I have heard people talk about sharding coming in to save the day, but does anyone have an idea when this might be implemented?

Other thoughts on how to keep the network running smooth and without enormous delays?

Ya, gas price is insane right now. Not sure what is happening

I'm not sure what happened but seems the companies trying to send ethereum in bulk, maybe for bounty hunters or ico participants in a big amount of transactions for a small token amount. Besides that, people more using ethereum than bitcoin nowadays, that's why ethereum network are clogged.
