Just a comment, clicking on something multiple times probably makes things worse. The first click is in a buffer and gradually gets passed through. By clicking a second or third time you're putting a bigger load on the server.
Click once and wait is the way to the lightest load on the overloaded server. I confess I bring up spider whilst waiting.
