>I got a confirmation today that an outage on the power supply on the co-location division where my servers are located went down on Friday night. Basically, there is suppose to have been a down time of about 12 minutes. They were adjusting something and thought no one would have been affected. However, it seems this was not totally the case. Maybe this has caused a slow down for a certain period of time. I only discovered that today when I saw that my servers rebooted by themselves, something that has not happened for years, as we are on a 30-day power supply diesel generator which is suppose to avoid that kind of interruption. IAC, I did some checkups and everything appears ok.

Yes, it seems normal now.

I'm not 100% certain but I'm pretty sure I saw the slowness over a period of several days, prior to the start of this thread. So, that would have been sometime before your Friday night outage.

From time to time I've seen temporary slowdowns due to various reasons that usually resolve within minutes or hours. This time, the slowness persisted much longer, which is why I started this thread.
