It seems like logged in users cause extra load while HN calculates scores and points. IF you're not logged in, HN can serve up cached results much faster.
That 1k+ thread re: MS/GitHub must be taxing the system.
(Not a HN insider, just mentioning what I rememberd from last time)
- gargravarr 8y agoI just tried logging out and I think you're right - HN was much faster. I'll keep this in mind in future - I usually stay logged in, but if it's making this much difference in load on the hN servers, I'll log out if I'm not commenting.
