Been noticing a lot of 'slow responses' today: models do not inherently more slow, rate limiting more likely.

A Reddit discussion from the Ollama community addresses reports of slow model responses, clarifying that the models themselves are not inherently slower but that rate limiting is a more likely cause of the observed slowdowns. The thread suggests that users experiencing performance issues should investigate whether rate limiting constraints rather than model degradation are responsible for the delays.
