Delay in posting comments

For a number of weeks, and unrelated to the recent DDOS attack, when I post a reply in a thread there are three rotating vertical lines on the top right of the page and a delay of up to 30 seconds before my reply is posted. Could this be an issue with my chromium install, some OS or browser setting or with the forum itself? Am I the only one?
 
Even before the DDoS the forums regularly got hammered, backend database gets somewhat overloaded causing the whole site to respond slow. Especially if you're trying to post something. Should be fine now, but it tends to come in waves.

Though admittedly, things still feel somewhat sluggish now. Browsing seems to be fine, posting however feels slower than usual.
 
Yeah, same here. I had a post that I accidentally posted twice. My initial thought was that something was up on my end. But all in all, an interesting learning experience for me.
 
I've double posted too, but mostly OK.'


EDIT: It took 11 seconds (timed with going 1, one thousand, two one thousand, etc.) with three lines on upper right on waterfox, using Spectrum in Manhattan as ISP.
