It actually seems faster for me compared to the past two weeks. Not sure if I was being throttled or something, at times it felt like it.

We don't throttle specific users*. At one time we did (it was called slowbanning) but that's been gone for close to a decade now.
It's a bit disconcerting how often I say "close to a decade now" now.
* Edit: we do rate-limit some accounts (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), which throttles how much they can post to the site, but we don't throttle how quickly they can view the site.
