I'm really not sure. I did some random checking and found a few hints,
but nothing concret:

It probably is the JS, since it's the commenting and voting etc part
that takes time, and this seems to be JS controlled.

Any ideas on how we could speed this up?

Oh, and can we enable gzip compression on the ask hosts? (I don't know
how to do it yet.)
