HN is often slow due to load issues; at least it has been that way in the past. What makes you think it's intentional?

- QAllen 16y agoI log out and it speeds right up. Could it be a logged in-only problem? Not sure.
- jim_h 16y agoCould be. Maybe it's not optimal code dealing with all the user details. It has to know all the submissions you voted on and anything else. Or maybe it was a coincidence and it was faster at the time you logged out.
- amccloud 16y agoSome sites (possibly hn too) do not display cached pages to authenticated users. This could be the reason you see a decrease in response time compared to when you're logged in.
