I have noticed the last two nights (when search was back - at least in part) that the packet loss and general slowness is also back in a big way at peak times US. Can you comment on whether re-enabling full search is indeed part of that problem? I was rather pleased with how quickly things were running for me (though I missed Search of course).

Thanks in advance,
gillian

Hey Gillian - search is indeed impacting the database load, which is why we monitor the load and turn off various portions of the Search when load gets too high. We are working to manage this load and allow people to find the things in-world that they're looking for.
