I'd like to be able to ignore gadget porn (here's this new iPad cover!) by default, and weigh the programming/science/DIY hacking/design topics higher.
That's indeed a potential issue, same for filtering. I'm not sure how much caching is going on, but it'd make any caching in place much less effective. Maybe only give that option above a certain karma.

I think tags would be a pretty good idea.

User-defined weigths for tags is a nice idea indeed.
Might be too much load on the server, though, as it will actually mean that every user has his own front page.
