Are thread pages considerably "shorter" on FT Travel?

pasted from:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum.../000344-4.html

And created into a new topic as suggested by John At Webflyer.

HA!

On that topic though, a serious question, that may help the general slowness question. That topic has about 60 pages or whatever. And most of them are one word or one line answers. That had me wondering 'why so many pages'?

Has anyone else noticed the number of posting lines on a given 'page' over on Omni, (and I have the same feeling on FT Travel as a whole) is SUBSTANTIALLY less than it is here?

Not sure if I am making my question clear, but it seems a "page" of a thread on FT 'Miles' takes up SEVERAL times as many posts and data as does one page on FT 'Travel'.

i.e. it is my guess if the "Word Assocation" was in Miles Buzz (heaven forbid!) it would run to about a third or quarter as many 'pages' long, altough containing the exact same number of posts. It seems like possibly a simple "tweaking" issue and may help stabilise that Forum, rather than the 60 or so "pages" of data needing to be "read" by computer each time a post is made. Omni has 'crashed' often since that thread was gotten longer it seems?
