FTR seriously slow

I'm used to FTR being slow but recently it's been much worse. This is becoming common again:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server during query in /home/eproxim/public_html/phpBB2/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 48

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/eproxim/public_html/phpBB2/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 330

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/eproxim/public_html/phpBB2/forum/db/mysql4.php on line 331
phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

Y, our servers are having issues, we've been working on it and hopefully have it resolved soon.

Thx. Had some issues earlier today but it seems fine now. Better than usual, actually.
