[ANN] GLBSE will be slow for the next few days.

[Nefario]

After the PPT.E auction, I've found some issues with our current setup.

Fortunately we found a temporary solution to this but it will cause GLBSE to operate at 1/3 of it's previous capacity of users/speed. This means over the next couple of days GLBSE will be more slow for most users and we'll probably start seeing the 504 gateway errors again.

In the meantime I'll be working on fixing this and getting GLBSE back up to full speed(faster actually).

In one sense the PPT.E bond auction actually went rather well(over 6K BTC), throughout the entire process GLBSE was responsive to all users, which is as we had promised it would.

Any ETA on the current outage?

It is back up and running, try going to the site rather than a simple refresh - that worked for me.

Also, with some quick work and cooperation things worked pretty well when faced with the problem today.  It was good to see the help Nefario was able to provide and while taking the exchange down was a big step, it was probably the right one at the time.  I'd just like to take this opportunity to say "thank you".

I'm using the US gateway; it's up now. Thanks Nefario.
