I don't know. Slow how?The Gallery runs on a separate server that also handles the Classifieds. They're all connected to the same T1. I can only guess that you're referring to the picture load times. The pictures can be fairly large, so load times depend on your connection and the load on the T1. During the day, from 6AM-6PM PST, our T1 is maxed for the most part, so it could be timing out and waiting due to traffic.
Also, last week, hackers were probing at a Microsoft SQL Server weakness which caused problems in general. We were secure, but the volume of probes overloaded routers and caused connections to be intermittent and slow. If it's better now, that might have been the reason.
