A "retried" page never loads

Ignoring all the other Obamacare shenanigans, something's been bothering me.

When a system gets overloaded, slows down, etc., one of the things it needs is a little breathing room. The end users need to, as the kids say, "chill out", relax, take their finger off the "reload" button
