They could also be having to check lots of people against the lists of who is allowed in what private subs. Which could in turn cause problems if the code there assumes that usually people are allowed in the private subs they visit and relies on that to be fast.
Not sure that there were any private subs with tens of millions of disallowed subscribers before this morning.
