'cos you're running with JS turned off. :-)

Also, I think the actual results depends on your system. If you have a
high-powered system you probably wouldn't notice too much lag. It "only"
takes about 3-4 seconds for me on a dual-core 3.4GHz Intel machine. But
older machines will probably see a bigger lag.

But anyway, I think all of this is kinda missing the point. The point is
that the blob of links at the top of the page is plain unhelpful. It is
only useful if you already know what you're looking for, in which case
you could just use your browser's search function to find the matching
text instead. Much more useful is a broken-down categorization (with
proper nesting, etc.) of the functions, classes, structs, etc., of the
module. Something like what std.algorithm does.
