Fixing the performance issue is sadly not possible because it is caused by the architectural design of the mirror redirector. (mirrorbrain)
We have an alternative mirror redirector (mirrorbits, written by videolan), but switching over is a big task.
We do over 70 million redirections per day to our mirrors, so you can imagine that we need the new system tuned for performance right from the start. Since no one has used the new redirector with loads this big this adds a biit of a challenge.
At the moment the problem is simply time based. The people with the best understanding of our redirector setup have the least time.
