I've been noticing this too, the forum is generally sluggish.
I don't think it's the connection, pinging it gives very reasonable latency. Traceroute isn't the right tool to diagnose this, some nodes along the route may simply not be set up to respond to ping requests (for a variety of reasons), so the request will time out; doesn't mean its overloaded (and if you're getting low latency on the ping the ASC then obviously everything in between is running okay).
I'd cast my suspicion on a slow server and/or bloated sql db, probably both.
