The responses seen so far are useful if you have a fast connection, but for artist this is apparently not the case.

In this case, what is needed is an off-site newest nodes reader. Such a beast downloads the newest nodes ticker and arranges it in a way that makes it easy for you to decide which threads to visit, and which ones to ignore. This does require web space with CGI availability, but these days that's not so hard to arrange. The server in question can quite happily live behind a firewall.

The two off-site readers with which I am most familiar are:

The former is more full-featured, but hard to hack on, and the latter is quite spartan, but very easy to understand and extend. With these two tools, I haven't visited the Newest Nodes pages in months. The other thing you can do on a slow link is to go to your user settings and strip out the nodelets that appear on each pageview. You can leave them all on the front page, but turn them off for all the other pages. This can reduce download times dramatically on slow links.
