Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.

Hi Cubic Earth,
Our sincerest apologies for the slowdown during today's spike in activity. To give you an overview of the problem, our trade-engine code executes trades in under 20ms, however the Bitcoin-bound code takes 10x-30x longer to settle the trade. Bitcoin client is still in beta at version 0.8, so putting heavy, real-time load through it is the performance bottleneck. All Bitcoin start-ups are struggling around the same issue. Several Bitcoin websites use a detached/decoupled architecture to work around the problem, while we have decided to take a different approach and fix the root cause.

This will take us till end of the month to implement, but at the end we will be more like NYSE and less like MtGox. We are also working on a major data center upgrade and new servers are undergoing testing.

Our apologies again for the sluggishness in the meantime,
Keyur
