Sometimes I can see how compatible another player is with me, by the number of stars listed in his or her profile, but not always. How is compatibility measured, and why is it missing from some users?

We don't document the specifics formula, but we compare a handful of features of the two accounts, including country, language, friend/enemy ratio, masterpoints. If you don't have any stars, you're just not very similar.

Also, the complex calculation can sometimes be slow -- it's possible that the client is timing out waiting for the response, and showing no stars.

So two people who are equally intolerant are compatible? :)
