The new Reddit definitely seems a lot faster nowadays than it did when it first launched.
It's similar to HN. Not fantastic design, but incredible information density and usability.
Good luck knowing when people respond to your comments. Searching takes you to a completely different website. You can't delete comments (which should be a basic privacy ask from this crowd). Click targets are incredibly small.
It took years of begging for them to even implement collapsing comments. And for some reason they put it on the right side (not lined up with the tree level), and made it a super small click target.
I'm not talking turning it into an SPA or adding tons of JavaScript, just a bit of CSS/HTML TLC with some nicer fonts and make the whole thing a bit more scalable and bigger with some UX tweaks.
Something akin to http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/hn-special/
For me it's not the speed, it's the number of times the page straight up just doesn't refresh, or comes back with no data. Very frustrating.
