Several optimizations overnight, and the "checking your browser" thing has been turned off... fingers crossed!

edit: Seeing some home timeline & groups timeline failures in the logs for some users. will address asap.

edit2: We had to turn the "checking your browser" thing back on after ~6 hours.

edit3: Blocks/Mutes in comments is currently disabled due to being inefficient... "checking your browser" is off again.

edit4: Shortly after 2pm eastern we started getting attacked again, and it took us down for a bit. Emails will be delayed significantly today.

edit5: Rough day. We've got a lot of work to do. We'll get there.
