I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a way to set how many posts per page each user wants to see. If there was a way, I personally would set it higher than what it is now, 15, to make it easier to text-search for a particular post.
In theory it won't slow down the loading time by much, because the vast majority of time is spent on connection and interface overhead. So setting it to 30 wouldn't take twice as long, only perhaps 20% longer, and depending on your browser (and some server-side implementation details), the first posts might render exactly as fast.
I don't know if the board ops would make changes based on the results of this poll, but I'm just curious what everyone else thinks.
