Like Tweeting, but You Can't Use the Letter E

This website is slugish as hell. Every time I scroll my cpu usage jumps to ~30% and I have ~2FPS, using the latest version of Firefox.

On Chrome the CPU still spikes, but it's no nearly as bad.

If you're willing to turn off JavaScript, you can have all the same content, but with silky smooth performance.

On the "downside", though, you miss out on the social media sharing buttons, and auto-loading of the next article when you get to the bottom of the page.

If you have the time could you try reproducing it on the Firefox Nightly? I'm able to repro on v51 but not on Nightly.

I just tried it out and it's very smooth with Nightly. The CPU spikes, but it doesn't lag at all.
