I can also confirm that. Although I'm using a server sitting on a 100 
Mbps connection, the response is indeed dramaticaly degraded.

 I attach the mrtg of the established connections of my server, during 
January. It seems that 3 weeks ago, the number of established 
connections at any given moment, rised from about 350, to an average of 
650 during the last 2 weeks !!!

The stats of my server are here: http://postmortem.csd.auth.gr/mrtg/
