With all the new accounts coming to Mt. Gox, it's going to be a bigger mess than it already is if they don't upgrade to something that can handle serious volume. We are at the stage where it is really essential that they do this.

It is back. One hour offline. 
This is not lag, this is damage control.
Edit: now its 52 minutes already :-(
Makes no sense at all.

Its not just about failed trading engine. The whole concept of trading BTC is just a big fail atm. When you travel to a foreign country, do you exchange to their currency at your forex broker? Same goes with gold.
This remains to be separated in the Bitcoin world.

Isn't the matching engine made in php ? Php is magnitudes slower at data processing than C/C++. The whole matching and trading engine should be replaced.
Yeah we've seen it time and time again, Gox just simply isn't equipped to handle these types of situations. The only real way to capitalize is to have your bids already in place (maybe set at 10%-20% below market). Anyone place a buy at Coinbase? Curious if those will go through.
This mtGOX lag is unbearable.
What a joke this exchange is.
They keep the same BS "working on it" This is a side job for someone i bet.

Really sad all together. A normal selloff brings down gox (with a terrible lag), brings down moody, bitcoin charts etc etc.
It is impossible to trade in conditions like this (at least once you tried trading something smoother) and this is the next major obstacle to fix before Bitcoin will have anything to do with Wall Street.
