DMs are broken
Yeah, I also don't have a lot of DMs myself, and it still takes ages to load.
My guess is as good as any, but I think that:
- The reason that DMs still take so long even after the site improved dramatically in performance not long ago is because the DMs themselves are the root cause of the problem and they merely made them load separately from the rest of the site, isolating the issue.
- It's probably not because of a single user's DMs, but rather it's probably having issues reading the whole table of DMs for the entire site every time you load that particular page.
I can't imagine there'd be so many DMs for it to get this bad, but with a site with such a large audience such as this one having 1 or 2 DMs per user would really start to add up I guess. Then again, notifications and other user-specific functions work just fine, which would debunk this idea, so I don't know.
