PF Server Slow -- Sunday 8-Feb 2PM PST

Starting at about 2PM today, the PF server has been very slow, including some Database Error timeouts. Seems to be improving a bit (3PM), but still may require a server re-boot.

FYI.

I'm still getting occassional db errors when clicking on a link to most of the forums.

And PF is loading slowly, even after clean files/cache etc.

Autolinking (to the PF Library) is not working.

Has it been turned off to help the server?
