Did you read the next sentence?
"All these things influence the validity of a direct speed comparison between the two versions, but the speed improvement is nevertheless too overwhelming to attribute only to these small changes. And in fact, many of these changes might even have negatively impacted the speed of the new version in exchange for saving on the monthly bills."
- ebbv 13y agoThat assertion isn't backed up with data, though. Without showing how many seconds were spent loading Disqus, we don't know how much of the load time improvement was based on eliminating Disqus vs. the switch to Go. Based on experience I'm guessing the lion's share of the gain is due to eliminating Disqus.
- bdcravens 13y agoIsn't Disqus loaded client-side? If so, it's not comparing to Go as much as rendering comments server-side, which you'd see performance increases with PHP or Rails as well.
