It's not just you. July was the most traffic the site has ever had by a considerable margin (around 20%), and August is looking much the same. While in-week performance is fine for most users, weekend performance (Friday-Sunday) lags considerably behind our expectations due to such extreme traffic. We expect this situation to begin improving in a few weeks as the summer boom dies down.
In the meantime, we're considering alternatives - like image optimization - to improve user experience. Any updates on this situation will be posted in the FAQ thread.
Edit: Any further user reports are always welcome.
