I talked about it some in System Changes. Basically, since that time, certain operations take a lot longer than they used to. In particular, loading the My Gallery page, and entering an ID on an individual photo page, can sometimes take a very long time.

It's one of two things I really dislike about the throttling (or whatever it is). It seems to happen to me most often when I accidentally try to submit an ID twice for the same image. I seem to end up doing that when I switch from Safari (which will interpret an Enter keypress when the bird-name-completion thing is going on as calling for an actual submission of the form) to Firefox (which requires two Enter keypresses, one to load the name into the form widget, and a second to actually submit). I get in the habit of hitting the Enter key twice to submit the ID form when I'm using Firefox, then keep accidentally giving an extra keypress when I'm using Safari. And bam, I get the error message, and have to re-log in. The second thing I really dislike about the throttling is that it makes it hard to quickly discard unwanted images when a bird I really want to get a shot of is in the camera's field of view. Loading the "My Gallery" page seems to take a fair amount of time now, and when I'm trying to rapid-fire a bunch of shots while a good bird is on-camera, it can be really frustrating to have to wait for the My Gallery page to come up so I can delete the rejects when I hit my daily limit.
