I live in the country and only have dial-up (high speed is not even available yet, that's why I do most of my surfing at work hehehe) so it was terribly slow a few weeks ago. However, since the upgrade it is doing much better for me.

I just logged on there and saw this notice from the admin:
Last night I did some final ""tuning" and it seems to have paid off. I have had more than 20 users test the site and they all see a noticeable speed improvement now. average page load time has dropped from 8.5 seconds to 3.0 second per my testing software.
