The more likely cause is that (for some reason) this entire blog is one single html page.

Which explains why they needed a better math rendering solution, although it raises numerous other questions.

Just because the page is huge shouldn't theoretically make the top bit of the page load slowly... After all, the number of words on the screen for my GPU to render isn't higher just because the scrollbar is a mile long...

Practically, if the draw culling algorithm is bad, rendering will get slow, which looks like it might be happening here.
