Slow syncing after upgrading to latest versions

[breezytm]

Our nodes have been online for at least a year and have been working just fine. We recently upgraded to the following versions, and since then, the slow syncing began. I know of another provider who is also having similar issues with his nodes, which makes it clear that this issue is not specific to us. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.

op-geth:v1.101315.2
op-node:v1.7.7
