There is a nice graph here:

Was there a geological incident that explains things?

We didn't have any leap seconds for 7 years.  From the leap second file:
  3124137600      32      # 1 Jan 1999
  3345062400      33      # 1 Jan 2006

There is another warp in the graph in the late 1980s.  Things slowed down for 
several year, but not as dramatically as the early 2000s.

These are my opinions.  I hate spam.
