So, the Islamic Terrorist Opens Fire on Florida Nightclub; 50 Killed, 53 Wounded story is up over 400 comments and loading slower than hell. We finally managed to find ourselves a limit to comments under the current code. There's a fix going to be coming in the upcoming site update but for now there are two workarounds; take your pick.
- Change your comment view mode to Nested or Flat.
- Change Comment Limit under Preferences to five to ten.
The latter solution gives you 5-10 root level comments and all their children not 5-10 comments total. It also allows you to keep using the javascript expand/collapse buttons if you were.

That's the kind of thing that could be fixed with smart javascript.
Let the posts be a static file and use javascript to apply the filters to hide/collapse based on the score.
Might even be able to do it without javascript, just really clever CSS.

It'd have to be some extremely clever css. Collapsing comments below score N we can do easily through css, and already are doing so on dev, but the numeric comparison has to be done server-side unless we want to use javascript, which is a non-starter. House rule: everything has to run correctly without javascript turned on. Too many of the community block it.
