This is the first time I've ever had a slow experience with HN, so there is no need to be sorry. A damn fast website can have a few slow downs once in a while in my mind. HN is the opposite of slow software, and even at its slower moments, it still beats the majority of the modern web (looking at you, Reddit redesign).
- dang 6y agoIt's all relative. I find it too damn slow!

- krapp 6y agoI don't want to come across as contentious but will. you. please. just. use. a. real. database. A flat-file architecture only scales so far. This is probably the only forum on the internet where a thread passing 500 comments is an actual problem - and remember, you're planning on getting rid of pagination, which means no theoretical limiter on request sizes. In a few years when 500+ comments threads become the norm among another million users, disk I/O is going to be more and more of an issue. Racket has a perfectly good database library, just kick the problem upstairs and be done with it.
