The redesign is terrible. It looks nicer, but ultimately it behaves terribly. It loses connection with reddit all the time, makes my PC fan speed up to a volume that not even games can achieve, and is downright just behaviorally bizarre. Videos stop and start randomly, or refuse to buffer. Images are too big and stick out of frames sometimes, things take 10+ seconds to load even if the rest of the page loaded just fine.

I switch the URL to old.reddit and poof! Performance problems are magically gone.

The performance is awful. If they just did a site wide CSS and HTML makeover, that would've been fine. But they somehow crammed enough JS in there to make my computer beg for mercy.

It is atrocious. Reinforces every possible stereotype about web apps. One tab of the reddit redesign after scrolling will eat more memory and cpu then most AAA games on my rig.
