I haven't read the source article, but SourceForge at some point was real slow. Like, it would takes minutes alone to Log In at SourceForge, let alone checking out SVN repo. Accessing website hosted on SourgeForge was real slow too. I think during that year (not sure which year), tons of projects migrate either to Google Code or to GitHub. It was later that sourceforge improve.

Sourceforge was really good and as big in the open source world (between 1999 and 2006) like Github today. Later Google Code took over a larger part but never become as popular as Sourceforge or Github. Sourceforge is still used by many open source projects as download hosting provider (binary files). Google Code already stopped the download functionality several months/years(?) ago. Google Code was a 20% project created by Google devs in their 20% free-project-time, though it never improved beyond its first MVP stage, but was for many years very successful nevertheless.
