i wouldn’t assume every issue is a bug. i think General is a proper place to start this discussion.
i don’t notice specific slowness where i am. for you, is the whole system slow, or is it only the observation page? is it only a specific observation or any observation? if only the observation page, are there parts that load quickly and other parts that load slowly? it would be helpful to understand exactly which parts are slow. take a look at these posts (and the associated thread): https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/slow-website-loading/12174/11, https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/slow-website-loading/12174/31, and try to capture the same kinds of details / screenshots.
