(I didn't want to say this *on* reddit, but I think I'm safer here...) It kinda makes sence that the reddit croud would find it to be notably super-fast. Reddit itself really *is* very, very, VERY slow when you have JS on. Particularly on pages like that with many posts. And that's even with all the ad stuff blocked.
