Re: the askResearch server is overwhelmed? Absolutly there is a load on askResearch and most notably when the markets are making wild swings. Their charting tool which I use the main site for is linked to other technical sites that use their severs as well. It seems it will get busy when you need information the most. I just leave my chart(s) open in another window so I don't have to log onto the site and they update automatically every 90 seconds but on a delayed basis of 15 - 20 minutes. If the server times out then normally a click of the "refreash" button brings them back up.
