Actually we've been talking about switching to https.

  Sweet. Are you going to use that website as a benchmark for https?

    Why bother? I'm using one of THE worst browsers out, called the Blackberry Browser. Yet HN is one of the few websites that renders just as well as my updated ubuntu machine running newest firefox.

      Probably because he's not a Blackberry user... :)

        Oh very true :) I tried to help back when DDG started out here. DDG was doing 'funky business' on my BB curve 8530, which made it unusable. I offered assistance with making it BB friendly. He asked for screenshots.....(drumroll) Do you know how hard it is to make screenshots of a BB device? GAH. You need it plugged in a Windows computer (sorry, no Mac or Linux) and have a package on your BB, and run a program with the usb cable connected, and the screenshot goes to the computer. WTF? On a I(Phone|Pod Touch), I press the sleep button and then tap the home button. CHING "Completely aside"... Im ditching my BB when my contract ends :)

HTTPS shouldn't be much of a performance issue to an all-text site such as HN. I run a HN-like site in Hebrew, and I recently made the switch myself (https://bitorama.com https://bitorama.com). Traffic there is a lot lower than in HN, but so far I haven't noticed any latency issues. The change went smoothly with nginx, though I'm not certain this data point is relevant to HN.
