Google search page (WAS Re:Use and capture of the "time" command)

[Tyler Aviss]

Just a quick question.

I don't do much on the computer at home these days (too many chores),
but it seems that google has been unusually slow. The previous project
was actually a script that runs "curl" and times how long a page takes
to load. Anyone else seeing a bunch of random slowdown in google
during the daylight hours?
