Compared to what? Reddit is damn fast.

And this table structure has nothing to do with Reddit speed. The pages you get, 99.999% of them come from Cassandra and caches, pre-rendered.

So no, reddit is not slow, even less "so slow", and no, the table structure has nothing to do with it's speed.



Signed-in reddit is one of the slowest sites I use. It is, however, very fast for what it is doing. I have no complaints about the speed, only wishful thinking.


I concur. Signed-in reddit is very slow. Signed-out reddit is better but still feels slow. Perhaps I am spoiled by Facebook, Google & co.
