I have not been to the site in a while, a few months maybe (you know how life goes).

Recently, I came back and logged in and clicked on newest nodes. My browser churned and churned and never returned. I thought the site must be misbehaving, so I figured I would come back later.

A few days later I came back and experienced the same behavior.

Today I came and clicked on newest nodes before logging in and experienced no problem. I logged in and found the same problem when I clicked on newest nodes. This time I decided I would post this message to complain.

I left the page loading on the background while I was writting this and I discovered that it did eventually load.

It took almost 10 minutes before the page finally appeared. I clicked the clear my last checked flag and now the page works fine.

My guess is that it is some how churning through the tons of nodes that I haven't seen since I have been away, but something should be tweaked as the page just takes forever to return...
