Yeah, mode=big only seems to work when you have a mode=medium page as the referrer.

Strange, it's still fine for me with full size images loading almost instantly. Tried on both servers in case it's a problem limited to one of them but they're both okay. I wonder what's causing it.
Was just browsing and noticed the slowdown doesn't affect all pictures on the site, nor even just the largest ones.
post #1806018 loads instantly.
post #1804509 and post #1806442 take forever. Both are smaller than post #1806018 in both file size and dimensions.
post #1806029 also loads instantly.
The ones that loaded quickly might have only loaded fast because they were in cache, though, since I had favorited one and recently uploaded the other... post #1806443 loaded fast, but look at the filesize. Miniscule.
I was hoping I might have been able to help narrow down the cause, but looking back, it seems all I did was confirm, "yep, shit's slow".

You can press Ctrl+F5 on a page to force-refresh the whole page ignoring the cache.
Yep, that causes the fast pictures to load slow.
All pictures seem to be loading marginally faster today, but it's not back to the way it was. Image size seems to have nothing to do with it, as 3mb pictures load just as fast as 300kb pictures.

Do 850px samples load fast like thumbnails, or slow like full sizes?
Only samples are downloading with more or less passable speed.
Full size images are slowing down extremly, sometimes even below 20kB/s average.
EDIT: this extremly low speeds includes also thumbnails and even forums (I checked now after cleaning the cache).
Same symptoms on both Firefox and Opera.
