I don't remember last years' but this was pretty mediocre indeed. E.g. after the first two graphs, I used autoscroll (middle click, move mouse) so that I 'saw' the whole page and all the graphs loaded and animations triggered. Then ctrl+up and read more comfortably. How stackoverflow builds this in when flashing content is such a common annoyance, I don't know. Sure, you don't want to load a megabyte of data for when people open the page for just 2 seconds, but there are animations on top of the lazy loading, the actual data is not that large anyway, and the loading distance is not hard to increase either.
