Concord response times - stealth nerfed in last patch?

I noticed this a few times now, when a suicide bomb battleship tries to blow me up with smartbombs, he is able to take down my 3.8k 40% resist shield hp and half my armor. Before the patch, he could barely get my shields to just below half.
Somehow concord now take longer to kill the target. Previously a smartbomb battleship could occasionally get off a 3rd pulse on the smartbombs, and yet since the patch they can get off 5 pulses on smartbombs. That's an extra 17-20 seconds that it takes concord to kill the target.
Another example is a battleship who attacked me in a 0.7, it took concord about 45 seconds to kill him. It used to be 20 seconds from the moment of firing the player is dead.
The question is why didn't ccp make public that they nerfed concord in favour of suicide gankers?

Er, let's see, you've contributed nothing to the thread and insulted me to boot. Who's the real troll?
This is a legit complaint. Having been the target of dozens of both failed and successful suicide ganks for the past 1 year I know exactly how long concord should take to respond. In a 0.7 system it's about 20 seconds until their smartbomb battleship is killed, maybe 25 seconds max, but they lose all cap at 20 seconds so can't fire anymore.
Since the latest big EVE patch, concord takes around 20 seconds longer to kill the target battleship. Abou 40 seconds in all from the moment they set of the smartbombs. Also I noted that far less concord turn up now aswell, sometimes as little as 3 concord will come whereas before as many as dozens would spawn to kill the suicide smartbomb battleships.
Without knowing the skills of the toons in question, and the fit of the ships in question, there is no point discussing anything here.
What have we learned today? Apparently, even CCP prepares for Hulkageddon. ^-^
The system you where in has a lot to due with the resonse time. Likewise your fitting, skills, weapons they used, range, etc etc etc have a lot to do with how long it takes to gank you.
EDIT: Having played EVE since late 2006, I've never once been suicide ganked.
