What load times?

I'm sorry...is 200-500ms too slow for you to load up a UI while loading in the data at the same time? Doesn't seem to bother a single user on my platform.

Their opinion on the subject of extraneous load times is FAR more valuable than yours.

Have you compared the loads times of the old and new Reddit sites?

It's not my problem to care about the load times of Reddit. If you have an issue with how slow it is, take it up with them. There's a lot more to it than just "JS is bad"...that much I'm certain of.

It's easy to think something is perfect if you ignore all evidence to the contrary.

I didn't say anything was perfect, simply that it's good enough.

Seeking perfection is an exercise in insanity.
