This very forum can confirm it:
I think that it is legitimate traffic, but there is a ridiculous amount of it: ~250 requests per second.
indeed, there are now major investors playing with bitcoin, but they play it like every other investment they trade; pump & dump. they are all over the exchanges trying to profit from the fluctuations in price and jamming up the system and bringing the price down. Bitcoin was not intended to be an investment vehicle, but at these ridiculous price jumps, you can't expect the moneyboys to treat it like anything else. could spell the demise of this little experiment we got here.

but yeah, I believe MtGox. Just hoards of greed-head bottomfeeders stripping the tree bare.
