Ask YC: Why is YC's layout table based?
That is. Table is 'not optimized object code' compared to lists. So you should ask: why your object code is not optimized (and it slow loaded and slow rendered on my PC :).

Premature optimization is literally a waste of life.

My computer is fast :) I told "YOU should ask: why your object code is not optimized (and it slow" (instead of "why you use tables").
