gollark: Basically any modern computer is capable of billions of operations a second and storing gigabytes of data. Most of the slow websites are trying to render probably a few hundred kilobytes of text at most (maybe video/images, but there's dedicated fast hardware for that). The issue is awful code at many levels.
gollark: Simply use old reddit, which is better.
