Logan I hope it's something being worked on, since I've definitely noticed it too starting within roughly the past week or so. Even on a bad day I usually get over 25mbps download with the SLR speed test, but just recently the streaming has been incredibly choppy/constantly buffering and even the download speeds have been averaging like 3mbps, neither of which was never an issue for me before.
I usually don't pay attention to the cam shows, but even just today trying to check out the live Valentine's Day Show it was just completely unwatchable- stuttering, constant buffering and pausing, etc.
Again, never been an issue at all for me up until about a week or so ago, so really hoping it's a temporary server-related issue or something that is being addressed and not the status-quo for the site going forward.
