rolling restart

[Eric0901 Wolfhunter]

Seems like for the last few months each time rolling restarts are being done, they take progressively longer to get the regions back up. 
As I write this, its now been over an hour. 
Last week it was 45 mins, the week before 35, and well, i think you get the idea. 
SO, my question is, WHAT is going on that this is the issue? 

Please...if you dont have an actual answer, try not to respond (I dont mean to seem crass, but I want facts, not opinions)

Have you tried to teleport to the region thta appears to be offline? Don't trust the map (or your eyes). Many times a region will appear offline after a restart when in fact it is already back up. I can be standing on the edge of one sim looking into the void of a sim that appears offline, while I have someone in IM telling me they're standing on the supposedly offline sim. A quick teleport to the "offline" sim will make it reappear.

Note: This isn't always the case, just more often than not.
