Yes, Slowness has been a known issue over the last week, and it has been  
investigated, Its not exactly easy to know whats causing it when a) devs  
know absolutely nothing about your hosting environment b) have been  
thousands of other testers without issues, c) devs with no issues, d)  
having other bugs to attend to as well.

A likely suspect for the cause has been identified though, A bug in the  
new HTTP API (Well, an oversight) is that non-blocking requests are not  
supported by some of the transports, because of this, the cron loading on  
login/post publishing causes timeouts, and the browser never ends up  
getting the page, just sits there timing out.. but this only happens on  
very certain web hosting setups, replicating the issue in a testing  
environment when knowing the exact cause is easy, guessing the combination  
of items to use to test it on the other hand, is a completely different  
thing. So AFAIK, one potential cause will hopefully be fixed over the  
coming days, & see if that fixes problems for some, or all, and take it  
 from there.

A little bit of patience would probably go a long way, Many of us have  
been running 2.7 with no problems, but that doesnt mean its bug free, but  
its a Beta release, Not a Release Candidate, the beta's contain bugs, some  
bad bugs, but also include a lot of working functionality.
