I'll try to make notifications better sooner rather than later. Been getting lots of complaints about them.
With regard to speed, there's a lot more I can do. We perform lots of database dips currently to render most pages.

I mostly meant notifications for daily stacking, but it applies for upvotes too. The main problem is checking notifications constantly where there's nothing actionable, but it also adds a lot of noise to the notifications page which makes it harder to keep track of comments you want to read/reply to. Maybe separate things out on the notifications page — one column or tab that has a granular vanity feed of rewards, and one that has a reverse chronological feed of replies.
I like that comment disincentivization strategy. Home page is ~1s, notifications are slower (see point #1, I spend more time there than on the home page).
