After the fork the network is still relatively slow. I expected things to improve a bit in that matter, but yet, if one looks at block times distribution (http://www.blocktree.io/charts/XCO) there is practically no difference before and after the fork (about March 15th, 2am). Glitches up to 4000 seconds (more than an hour to find the next block) still occur quite frequently. We need more people staking to support the network.
