That's weird. Pivotal itself had hundreds of developers using it for what was thousands of projects. It was never slow like that for us, unless they were having some sort of outage or something.

I hate to say it, but my immediate guess is that your company was using it in some fashion that it wasn't intended for. That was the real problem with the tool. Unless you actually worked at Pivotal, you never really got to learn how to use it the way they intended. The documentation was good, but nothing beats going to the source.

What is your best guess for why it got so slow?
