Why do pages from bigger threads take longer to load?

Enter the AD-FREE zone

I've noticed this: If this is one of the longer threads, with 9 pages or so, the page will take more to load if it is page 1 of 2 pages - Did anyone else notice this?

It's especially apparent with the picture thread.

It's because there are more pages.

Is it anything to do with rebuilding the thread from the database?

wait, so the entire thread is rebuilt from the database? I thought that visualisation were individual posts rebuilt by making a query of posts via a thread ID number, and sorted by time of posting... but I guess that would return the entire thread, too.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I think the threads are stored like linked lists, so it has to trace through the entire thread to get a particular page.

What's the 'page loading time' and why does it always say 'please wait'? Wouldn't that just be the same time as the 'page generated' time?
