Is GTA4 tanking the PSN?

I saw some of you guys playing multiplayer tonight so some of it is working at least. I tired to DL the F@H client (for some reason it is making me do it over again) and it was a no go. Went to the PSN store and it was SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW, like back when they first launched it. Then tried to download the Iron Man demo and it too was a no go. Launched the internet browser and had no issue at all..... I wonder if even though they aren't using PSN servers for GTA4 if there sheer volume is causing it to tank? Anybody else noticing this?
 
Everything seems to go a bit faster over months time to me...

Everything in PSN is modular unlike XBL, things don't really slow down as a whole, just things here and there if they're getting a lot of traffic.
 
GTAIV online has always worked for me, except for a few hours on one day. Everything on PSN has ran fine for me today.
 
Is working now... ugh, time for bed.... too much GTA4... I think I played for at least 5 hours tonight.

I'll be back in my apartment Friday and maybe I'LL finally get a chance to play for five hours... after I change the sheets, and pillow cases that have gathered dust over the past few months, set-up my internet access, cook, call all my friends and tell them I'm alive again...

Ok... So I should get at least 20 minutes in... Sigh...

And yes: PSN has been pretty damned slow lately. Just downloaded Everybody's Golf (Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds) Demo. It was only 600 megs and it took forever. It took forever to download Haze too.
