Two years ago I emailed HN to ask why favoriting posts is rate limited. Got the reply, "HN's main software runs on a single core."

They also said they are working on an overhaul of Arc and HN, which will massively improve performance.

Nothing in that thread or linked threads provides anything that contradicts that statement that I could find.

Please be more descriptive so that people actually get your point.
