Sadly, nothing has changed... (it has gotten bigger, but not that much
bigger).

We have disabled cdash for the moment, see below.

Yes, that is related.

We are moving the CDash DB to a new machine. So, CDash has been taken
offline totally during the move. We are not exactly sure why it went
down. We are hoping that moving it to a new more powerful machine will
fix the issues we are seeing. It will at a minimum remove contention
with Gerrit as a source of the problem. The DB is 130Gigs for CDash
right now, and we are waiting for mysqldump to create a backup that we
can import on the new server. We hope to have it up in the next 4 hours.
Sorry for the delay, we have been working very hard to get things going
as soon as possible. I will send out another update at 8pm tonight with
the status.
