> The new reddit site is fast. Yes initial load time is like 2 seconds, but after that, everything else is instant. Disagree. I just gave it a try on a desktop (!) browser – when switching from the thread list into a particular comment thread, "new" reddit is definitively slower than old.reddit.com, both visually (after the thread page as such displays, it spends another second or two loading the actual comments, whereas on old.reddit.com everything renders instantly), and measured end-to-end (from clicking on the "comments" link to the moment the comments actually appear) as well. On my underpowered phone, "new" reddit fares even worse, and never mind all that additional "you can only view this in the app"-crap that was thankfully never backported to old.reddit.com.
