Interesting indeed. I was just thinking about this the other day before deciding on putting together the userstyle. I was wondering weather the current HN backend is as fast as it can be, I'm sure there are dozens of developers that would like to rewrite it for free.

Yeah... it's too bad Y-Combinator doesn't seem to trust the hacker community enough to risk open sourcing their code and taking public pull requests. Can't risk having people see the algorithms and whatnot.
Heaven knows the "dozens" of Arc programmers out there probably don't have much else to do...
