Contributor list on numenta.org takes forever to load

The contributors.html page takes a long time to load the list of contributors. We should speed this up.

@fergalbyrne Are you planning on working on this during Sprint 13? If not, I'm going to assign to myself.

Hi Matt,That sounds fine, I know it's been bugging you. I've been snowed under so can't guarantee I'd be able to do it. I'll check it over the weekend and see if I can find the problem, but you go ahead and assign to yourself.

Cheers, Fergal

@rhyolight The problem is you're making the ajax call to contribStats every time the page loads. I'm getting a wait of 22sec to load http://issues.numenta.org:8081/contribStats (try loading that on its own in your browser)! You might try running that with cron once a day and saving the results on the server, then load the saved file in the contributor page.

The tooling server is currently stateless, and is like to keep it that way. I'd rather break it up into two Ajax calls. The one that loads the list initially is very fast. Populating the commit stats from through the github API is what takes forever.

OK @rhyolight if so, then you should render the list without the github info, then call the second phase on a timeout, having it "decorate" the table once it returns.
