Agreed, it's very heavy for no reason given it's doing pretty much nothing. It's buggy, slow, sluggish at times, with delay on clicks and scroll. It's really a terrible UI given how simple the problem is, and how much money they got.

It's not like they have 1000 of concurrent events like facebook, and their frontend should have nowhere the complexity of their backend. I don't understand how it's even happening.

The most absurd aspect of it is that how slow loading a single tweet is. The timeline could have the excuse of a slow and complicated backend call (but it doesn't, the backend is actually doing ok), but several seconds for one single tweet?
