Very few people realize it will take time for all the routing tables to adjust to the new location and settle on efficient routings. I think some believe that SE can magically adjust that from the first moment they go live. The reality is that it will take time for DNS to fully propagate, and routing tables to adjust on all the various trunk nodes that people use without realizing it.
