The slowdowns with SocialSpark that we experienced around the same time yesterday are back. The problem seems to be in the messaging system. As lunch hour approaches people are logging on to message their friends and quite a few users have immense friends lists. When you compose a message your friends list is loaded but it's not being removed from memory efficiently when you're done. As a result, our servers have something of a memory leak.
A few of the devs are working hard on a solution to this and we hope to deploy it shortly. Apologies for the inconvenience.
