Its great that they get this extremely fast trading engine now that they are dead.
I mean, the current engine rarely gets significant lag. Definitely not enough to cause panic. It does sometimes take awhile to execute larger orders [Doesnt show any lag, but it takes, literally, 1 minute for a 10k sell to go thru, for example]
Sorry Gox, TOO LATE!
I wonder what bitstamp has got.

what is Midas?
Midas is the new trading engine, that can do 500k transactions/second, so we can flashcrash to 0 in a matter of seconds when fbi dumps those SR seized coins

Midas is a magic word MtGox is using to postpone their demise 
Unsuccessfully so far.
Sorry, I'm not getting the reference. Am I missing something?

Midas - Everything he touched would turn to gold
Midas (Gox edition) - Everything he touched would turn to shit.gold
Midas (Gox edition) - Everything he touched would turn to shit.gold
Gold is appropriate, (Midas wanted wealth but got heavy Gold 1.0)
We want Gold 2.0 but once Gox touches it it becomes a heavy immovable substitute something like gold 1.0

Well shit has a few stray calories left, and pigs eat it when they are starving.... so that's not too bad at all!

what is Midas?
I guess it has to do with Greek mythology? Or drama? Or tragedy?
So many Greek words that fit Mt.Gox.
Edit:

Guess what, a story that ended badly for persons in power because of too much greed

WE WANT WORKING WITHDRAWALS
aaaand gox will give you useless ltc withdrawals.
the irony...
Well, not yet... But I agree that they're useless in this regard.
Anyway, I was thinking to write "...working fiat withdrawals", but that would've broken the alliteration

Aww how cute. <3
I love you, too
Personally I don't care about Gox withdrawals -- I don't have any coins/fiat left there. But if there's one thing Gox better had fixed already last month then this.

did they implement the new engine midas ? they didn't mention anything but I am really curious what kind of maintenance they had !
According to this tweet from MagicalTux - it's not Midas, but it includes a pre-requirement for Midas..https://twitter.com/MagicalTux/status/388419180677955584#
According to their new press release ( https://www.mtgox.com/press_release_20131011.html ), they've already migrated to the new hardware. However, took me a while to understand this (is it me or is it their Goxish writing?)
Edit: While I think that new infrastructure and a faster trading engine is definitely needed on Gox, this isn't the most anticipated news everyone is hoping for... WE WANT WORKING WITHDRAWALS
