Frequent Server Connection Time Outs (i can haz moar inturweb toobz for Pownce?)

Navigating the site on an internet connection that is having no problems, I receive the "Problem loading page" connection timeout message about every other page load. It doesn't really seem to matter what page that I am attempting to use, whether it be posting a note, going to my Home page, or visiting someone else's Pownce.

"The connection has timed out. The server at pownce.com is taking too long to respond."

It appears to most likely be a server load issue now that Pownce is open to everyone instead of being invite-only.

NOTE: I just returned from a brief hiatus from Pownce, so I do not know if this is a known issue or not. I looked through the current GS Problems for Pownce and did not see it, so hopefully Leah or Ariel will be able to get this looked into, as it is a debilitating problem, making it nearly impossible to use the site.
