Some very busy front page discussions. That tends to slow things down until dang steps in and lowers the number of comments per page. Log out (or use private mode) if you just want to read it and it'll hit the cache and be much faster.
Funny link, especially if you notice what the title is!
I'm curious though: what sort of synchronization does HN use?
It seems like HN could benefit from RCU (read copy update) because it can be super fast and can have great throughput. Its biggest cost is sometimes reading outdated data, which doesn't seem that big in the context of HN.
For me HN is the fastest website I know. When I want to test my Internet connection I open HN because if the connection available but it is really bad (there are so in Ukraine nowadays) then HN is that kind of website which has some chances to be loaded.
Its how a website should be in my opinion. The only real complaint you could have with Hacker News is that maybe the font is too small but you can just fix that by using the zoom function on your browser.
