I always assumed Slashdot was pre-generating static files (every few seconds or so, at least of the main top stories) that were served to the users. Isn't that why their comment form said that your comment might not appear until a few seconds after submitting it?

Yes, but there were also profile options to modify your own view, right? So the main page seems at least partially dynamic too.
