For the past few days many of you may have been seeing connectivity issues with Akismet. The Akismet team was related to a timing bug in the code, however that has now been fixed and a new version of Akismet has been released.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend.

Since 2.8.1 is now released, I wish Dev4Press would redo their benchmarks.
