The biggest difference I'm seeing thus far is the load time for images.  Sometimes, they would take FOREVER to load.  I'd question if my Internet connection was bad at times, because some images took dial-up modem speed to load.  I went to some of my older images, ones I've that I know that took longer to load, and they loaded instantly (or very close to...)!!

I tested the Collected by dirty hands discussion topic, which usually takes  some time to load all the images.  I was able to scroll throw the whole thing and saw that the images loaded quickly!  No stutter, no freezes, like I have had in the past... 

Anyway, maybe its just the novelty of a new server, but I swear things seem to load a HECK of a lot faster on my end... And I've done nothing to my Internet connection! I just wanted to say I LOVE the new change and hope that it stays that way!!
