An Odd Feeling Of Something Or Other
One of the cool things about Minx is the way that the functions interact with each other, so that the feature set scales superlinearly with the code size. A lot of it is table-driven, and a lot of the tables are dynamically generated, so that a 2000-line template engine can process many thousands of template tags. (A quick estimate: Counting variants and subfields, there are currently 12,000 data tags defined for entry objects alone.)
There are two downsides to this. The first is documentation... Though if I get an automatic document generator going, the user manual will be impressive.
The second is that the bzipped code archive is 53kb. Though that's not bad so much as merely somewhat depressing.

If you're talking about the way that the comment editor bogs down horribly in long threads, that only happens at Ace's. I have a 400+ comment thread here, and it works just fine.
Ace will be moving to the new software soon, and that will fix the problem.
