RTR#25 Further performance improvements (user page, tag page), marking new comments
(media.kbin.social)
Today, I worked on the user and tag pages to make them operate a bit faster and consume fewer hardware resources. Additionally, I implemented the first iteration of marking new comments in visited threads and posts. This is a test change and will be improved over the next few days. It's progressing a bit faster than I initially anticipated. The remaining time is dedicated to fixing issues related to user account deletion and a new deployment method for /kbin:

Ahh, okay I see what you mean now. Interesting. It actually makes page loads slightly slower on my old-ass Chromebook (but that's on me; this machine is a few years out of support for updates).
I wonder if this is better or worse for server performance, though.
This may be more noticeable on weaker internet connections. There is also browser-side caching, so it may not work perfectly everywhere. Currently, this is an experimental version. For the server, it's marginally better, but there are no significant differences, is more about the user experience.
Good to know, thanks!
