Ask HN: Why is HN so slow?

2 points by messel ↗ HN
Noticing a few second delay (~5+ seconds) after a comment, edit, or uncached page load. Is it time for an optimization pass on HN?

I'm not noticing any delays. I usually am impressed with the speed of HN. When I notice delays, I assume it is temporary network issues. Interested in other theories.
