One main problem with any attempt by a site to slow down its service is that all similar/competitor sites must slow down equally. Otherwise we get the game of one site provider not slowing down (or slowing down as much) because of the incentive: if they are faster, they generate more visits than competitors.

The article, as I understand it, suggested a banner on the site stating why the site is slow, and to get out of the slow lane 'click here'.
