Indeed lp can be very slow at times, but a tip is to save the serach
as a bookmark and add a keyword to it (firefox), then I can just type
my magic keyword into the addressbar and the page appears. I have a
search that searches for new bugs with the date last updated. That
makes it easy to see what new stuff has appeared.
