I'm pretty sure it is the NG itself. Every news reader I've

Long page loads are caused by a combination of high server load
+
RAM cache misses + SQLite queries that require a lot of seeks.
Network operations, including fetching new posts from the NG and
posting to the NG, are asynchronous, and never block web
requests.
I use the split-thread view, I haven't had long page loads so
maybe I've miss understood what he means by a hiccup. But I have
seen it take time to retrieve a message and display it to me. I
would expect a page could be considered "loading" if it is still
waiting on fetching the post from the NG.
