Default Google Slow?

Has anyone noticed a large slowdown in all of google's services?

Google, gmail, youtube... they are all painfully slow for me now. It's the same at home and work with different ISP's. Been this way for a few days now.

Everything Google is awful lately. Pretty bad since all my email gets routed through them now.

I've noticed gmail has been excessively slow. I am trying to send an email now and it is taking forever. Absolutely brutal.

They've also indexed and added magazines to book search.

I am currently reading the Feb 1973 edition of Ebony.

Whatever it is they are doing they should rethink it. It's taking me 2 minutes to access my gmail inbox (if it doesn't hang 50% of the time) and almost a minute for google searches. I wonder if it's maybe a DOS attack... hard to imagine one single thing on their end that could cause all this, especially with the redundancies they have.

I got six emails at 5am this morning and it's been a pain logging into my multiple accounts over the last day or so.

What's worrying to me is that there's no mention to users that they know it's slow and they're working to fix it. Google, gmail, Youtube...All back to cadvision speeds, and there's no sign of anything being done about it.
