There are two threads on the front page right now with 500+ comments, which always slows it down.
- sitkack 4y agoThat is because each post is a file on disk?
- jedberg 4y agoI don't know how HN is built, but given its history in Arc, my guess is that the data structure that holds comment threads isn't optimized for a ton of branching. Threads with that many comments don't happen very often, so it's probably a low priority fix.
