Is it just me, or have others noticed that DP regularly takes a dump at around 5AM Eastern Time?

I have not yet tried to actually do a true measure, but it seems to me that the forum either fails to respond or moves real sloh for about 15 minutes right around that time. At least it does whenever I try to access it at 5AM.
 
It used to be earlier, I like this time better.

Not just you. It's been this way at least a couple of weeks that I noticed. Messed up my morning routine :lol:
 
Every night the DP database is recompiled, and minor errors are removed. The server slows down for this maintenance.

This is probably what are are noticing.
 
i think that this is when the backup occurs.
 
It's not a glitch, it's the daily back-up taking place. We used to do it at 2 or 3 am ET which was 11 pm or 12 am PT. To make it at a time that was as inconvenient as possible for everyone on both coasts and everywhere in between, it was moved to 5 am ET. The back-up is usually done by 5:30 am ET which is an ungodly hour to be up unless you have an early tee time. [emoji16]
