WTF Is Up with STEEM Right Now?

Things are moving reeeeeeeeeeeeeal slow. I'm getting broadcast errors... Some services seem completely broken, e.g. Hive account@smartmarket just swallowed my money with no response... Even my steemd node is running at like 3% of a CPU core when its normally above 50%. The log file is moving like molasses. [edit looks like smartmarket is starting to wake up, see comment below]

Did the whole network just slow down? Or am I bugging out right now? Normally when computation slows down to crawl for no reason like this its memory issue....

Any thoughts?
