w3.org sudden, excessive slowness causing upstream issues

As already mentioned, but not acknowledged, in the following threads

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/site-comments/2011Apr/0004.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/site-comments/2011Apr/0005.html

the following URL

http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd

suddenly began taking over 20 whole seconds to respond. This URL is
critical to validating many XSD schemas, since the W3C's own
guidelines require XSD validators to fetch these URIs as part of its
validation process. We noticed this when our software's test suite
consistently started flagging a validation test case that referenced
this URL as taking over 30x the time as the next slowest test.

Please respond and me and the people above know what is being done to
resolve this issue.
