 It's a function of the number of displayed bugs.  You can speed things
 up by only looking at the newest 100 bugs:

-The above page is accessible from the "Options" section at the end of
-the "main list of bugs" page. Select bugs "in package" = emacs;
-"newest bugs" = 100.  (I have no idea how you get to that Options
