Currently if you try to look at the history of a bigger way or relation (and/or one with many versions) it is most probable that you run into a timeout. A solution to this would be to not get all the versions of the object with all components in one rush when you first click on "way history" (or relation) in the browse-view. Instead there could be an intermediate step which only showed the date, version number, editing user (maybe changeset-number where the object was changed), tags and maybe amount of nodes / members. In a second step the user could get the details for _one_ of these versions by clicking on it. This would reduce the load on the api (due to getting all node coordinates of all contained nodes of all versions) and reduce the risk of a timeout significantly.
