Full service has been restored. The database was off-line from about
13:30 to 17:30 Amsterdam time (CEST).

Certain queries were taking several seconds to execute, and after a few
minutes the server was getting completely backlogged. We updated the SQL
database schema by adding a new index, and this fixed the problem.

We are not 100% certain why this problem happened now, but we will
investigate.

Again, apologies for this outage.
