I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong with my computer because of the slow uploads to my site. I am in the process of uploading 252 pics, I keep checking the gallery and it is only uploading about 20 or 25 pics an hour, at this rate it will take all day for the pics to upload. :

Hmm. The site slowness issues should be resolved and SmugMug should be back to screaming fast for everyone thanks to much sleep deprivation from our CEO and Chief Geek!
It sounds like you're likely experiencing other troubles, possibly connection related. Can you start by running a test or two for us?
I'm using the SmugMug Gallery Copier tool - and I still get an error - crashes after every 2 pictures it uploads. This has been consistent for the past 3 days.
I have also contacted the tool developer and according to my logs, nothing appears abnormal other than the SmugMug server issues.
I have tons of pictures to upload for customers and running out of patience.

Reporting from China, I am surprised that the speed of Smugmug is far faster than flickr. I am now using Smugmug as my primary photography site.
I thought flickr has a global presence, thus will be faster, but no, smugmug is MUCH FASTER! The photo loading on flickr takes 10 seconds, and smugmug only take 2 seconds.
Also I noticed Firefox loads smugmug much faster than IE, not sure why.

That's about as good as it gets for me!
i think you might win for "distance from server"
