Withdrawal worked fine with me within my withdrawal limits.
In my opinion people should be a little bit more patient. It is obvious Polo is dealing with huge traffic right now, currently online over 30 000 users and probably a fair share of them are executing trades so the site becomes slower. Not to say it is better in slower days...
In my opinion, Poloniex has still too many useless coins from which they should get rid off so that the site might work at least a little bit better.
