For some reason, today, HN seems exceedingly exceedingly slow (to me) after logging in... Without being logged in, things are as fast as they usually are -- but post log-in, SLOWWWER THAN MOLASSESS... I tried this several times; why this is, I can only wonder... To quote Bill and Ted... "Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K..."

Everyone switched from Slack to HN. :)

It is easier to cache stuff for users who are not logged in as it is the same for everyone. and everyone is looking up on Hackernews at the moment to see what is wrong with slack, which is probably the cause of the slowness.

  While it is true for most applications. HN does not do any customisation of the content. I don't notice I am not logged in until commenting

    You would cache the rendered html, the front page has your username and points and stuff. The whole page will be unique to you because of that

    The point count for most articles is consistently lower on a view of the non-logged-in homepage. I assume that means they are cached more aggressively for non-logged-in. There's also the username and karma count in the top-right.

    While it is true for most applications. HN does not do any customisation of the content I don't think that's true. For example, if you hide a thread while logged in, it remains hidden when you return.
