What should also be said is that we're still in the process of finishing up the configuration of the new server - in case any of you encounter a problem that wasn't there before, either let Mave or me know, and we'll fix it as soon as possible!
TMS being fast is something I'm unused to as well
Edit: it might still take a little bit for the DNS to propagate worldwide, try ipconfig /flushdns if you see none of the mentioned speed gains.
