since I am experiencing extreme (temporary) performance problems
again with a recently increased frequency and only during evening
hours in Europe, I am asking if this is still the same cause.

Today I've been waiting for hours for a git pull to succeed (i.e.
to not timeout), not to mention a push.

Is there some throttling also affecting me?  Or am I doing
anything wrong?

Thanks,
Harald
