TinyCat problems from LibraryThing indexing issue?

Hi - Just struggled through a session where TinyCat was being incredibly laggy trying to check in/out items. Pretty much every step of the check out process was lagging and timing out - retrieving scanned barcodes, retrieving patron names, displaying check-outs, and actually checking out the items.

At one point I checked librarycat.org on an "up or not" site and it returned as "Down"

Are these aftershocks from the indexing issue on LibraryThing or something else?
