>shameless plug as I don't want to post a message just to say this, but isn't HN too slow lately? I'm at the point that I visit the site less often than I was used to do as I don't want to experience the delay.

I've noticed that loading my comment and submission history is really slow, but loading everything else is as snappy as it's ever been.

I have a feeling that the front-page and comments get heavily cached, while our comment and submission history does not.




They should probably go NoSQL :)


There's no SQL behind Hacker News, the persistence code is custom and straight-to-files.


In the true ThoughtWorks way. Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
