Same here, been damn slow for 2-3 days now...

I also noticed a slowdown. I had to reload highres kogemashita pics a few times, and would get forum pages just blanking out on me without doing anything. The phenomenon only lasted about 30 minutes for me though.
With the 'shift+reload'. That is a Firefox 3 issue, especially depending on how the image was saved (I think).
Firefox said it was Skype, but I uninstalled that, and the pics will still need to be reloaded to display correctly. Likely you have to tweak the config on pipelining, but I never tried that.
The site runs fine for me, so if there is some slow down, it isn't bothersome.

It seems to be fine for the most part for me. Sometimes I'll notice a slow-down, but not to the point where the site is unusable.
It might be a different case for me though (I'm in Beijing) because of the Great Firewall of China and the fact that an earthquake a few weeks ago killed the international cables so they had to take about a week and change to fix it, so maybe something changed (dunno).
As of this post, the site is slightly slower than normal for me but it's not that big of a difference.
