Set your page results preference to 20:
1.) Click Account at the top of any of the latest posts pages.
2) Click My Preferences.
3.) Click 20 results per page under Browsing.
Disable unnecessary sidebars:
1.) Click Account at the top of any of the latest posts pages.
2.) Click Manage blocks.
3.) Disable as many sidebars as you can. I left only the Browse by Forum, Breaking News and Front Page News sidebars on mine. You can reconfigure them again after the elections rush is over.

Thanks Jim. However, re. your point 2.
In previous times of heavy load, FR would automatically limit the number of results returned. Has John removed that?

With all the money raised by FR one would think they could afford better servers and the like. Many web pages have a ton of traffic without crashing all the time - or not loading.
Odd.
To: Jim Robinson
Thanks for that tip Jim! Tenfold improvement in load time!

Beta wouldn’t load for me either. I’m at the office and have higher speed here and all of FR was down a few minutes ago.

Thank you Jim.
What’s the traffic like today? Is that why we’re finding things slow-going?
