Ask HN/PG: Is YC (very|becoming) slow?
I have been noticing load time of more than 5 seconds, esp. the home page. (or is it just me?).

HN gets slower over time; when it finally becomes unbearable pg fixes it. It may get worse before it gets better, though.
Seems pretty quick to me. I checked a few times, and the median was about 200ms, though I did see the occasional 2s.
