It actually seems faster for me compared to the past two weeks. Not sure if I was being throttled or something, at times it felt like it.

We don't throttle specific users*. At one time we did (it was called slowbanning) but that's been gone for close to a decade now.

It's a bit disconcerting how often I say "close to a decade now" now.

* Edit: we do rate-limit some accounts (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), which throttles how much they can post to the site, but we don't throttle how quickly they can view the site.

Thanks for the disclosure, if it gets crazy slow many I'll shoot you an email next time.
