We're just pretending it doesn't now take the better part of 10 seconds for twitter.com to load now? That response times have gotten perceivably, measurably worse over the last few months? Or that these glitches aren't now a weekly occurrence?

I don't use it anymore but the odd time a friend will send me a link to it, and it is horrifically slow. I wonder if anyone will write about this time at twitter in a few years. Would be a case study in how to decimate a websites popularity and what not to do to avoid that.
Apparently there is literally a 5 second pause on load in the javascript.
