I thought I was the only one experiencing this. My feeling is that the sometimes extreme slowness of their website is not unintentional, kind of like their arbitrary canceling or delaying of transactions and blaming it on false positives in their "high risk detection algorithm".

I honestly doubt that. For example, I tried to create a new wallet yesterday. The line indicator bar took its time (over 5 minutes) and never completed. Refreshed the page, it was there. Renamed another wallet - same thing. I'm not sure how this UI that never confirms that some operation completed can be intentional! This always happens to me - at least on Firefox as haven't used Chrome recently. Switching from Buy to Sell, for example, is the same. Any navigation, which is using history.pushState(), obviously, takes minutes, and almost never completes. I just know the routes by heart and key them in (no kidding), or click to get the route updated and then refresh. Honestly, I can't wait for Circle to grant me access... or Buttercoin or whatever alternative as we need redundancy. expresscoin seems nice, but its fees are much higher.
