Same here. Very slow for me, and when I try to load my comments or submissions pages, I often get a timeout and have to try 2-3 times.
I've always found it a bit ironic that a website where there's probably one of the highest concentration of good coders/web people was so slow and unreliable. But maybe that's just the nature of the beast; reddit is slow too, and they have a lot more resources.
Perhaps it's you, or latency to you, the sites always quite snappy and fast for me and I never see load times like that. Most pages load in 700-800 milliseconds for me and pretty much always have.
From what I've read it's because pg uses this as a playground for arc and is far from optimized. It would be great if he got some help from the community though, it is embarrassingly slow.
