Thread:Feedback/Size and speed

I hope there's a way around this, but Liquid Threads is rapidly proving unworkable for some people on the strategy wiki.

Users need full expansion of all threads to search for text and follow the discussion. (and self). I just tried to load a page with not too many posts, from the strategy wiki. The host machine is a P4 with 2 GB ram, not running much else. It took 376 K of data transfer, plus 80 seconds and a "slow script" warning to render. Clicking "Edit" is slower, and can be worse. Unusable for many, even with relatively few threads/posts to date. What can be done?
