Along with it being slow, I get multiple "new message" emails for a thread, but when I go to the thread, it's the same message multiple times. It's frustrating to wait for the page to load only to see a message I've already read. For example, I've received at least two alerts about DSC's message above, which was posted almost 24 hours ago -- I was notified last night and again this morning. The email alerts come hours after the message is posted, which I expect is the reason for the multiple alerts -- the system is catching up with messages. Those alerts used to be almost immediate.
