Agree, for me as well, since the major LotW IT upgrade several months ago.
LotW has been up 99% of the time and nearly instantly processes my logs,
even right after a major contest. I uploaded my 4143 QSO P49X WPX RTTY log
yesterday and it took all of 6 minutes after I hit ENTER to see the 43% QSL
hit rate on the entire log. Pretty impressive at less than 24 hours after
the contest!
Its too bad there isn't as much reflector traffic praising LotW now as there
has been (in the past) complaining about it.

LOTW runs poorly?
That sure is not my observation. LOTW has been running better than it ever
has lately. Log files large or small are processed in minutes instead of
days like in the past. The system is up most of the time, again a major
improvement. My 1200 contact log file this Sunday was processed in 10 to 15
minutes. They upgraded the server etc not too long ago.

Here's my observation of relative mode confirmation rates in LoTW and eQSL:

It sort of goes along with computer skills and maybe age.
I'm currently running 49.5% confirmed in LoTW. If I took out all the old
QSOs from 1960-1999 I'd be well over 50%. I think this is remarkable and
partly explains why LoTW seems to run so poorly now - it's a victim of it's
own success. A lot of my confirmations come from digital and RTTY QSOs.
