Anyone else notice some long delays in getting pages from patrick.net today, or am I just imagining it?

I tried turning down "swappiness" yesterday with sysctl vm.swappiness=0 which should in theory discourage the system from swapping out processes. Then I just turned off swap altogether with swapoff -a as another experiment. My system monitors didn't show the home page getting any slower, but sometimes getting the home page took many seconds while, say, the NY Times loaded fast. So it was spooking me.

I don't think this has anything to do with speed, may be you were fixing stuff and I caught in the middle. But speed-wise, no issues.
