The reason the HTML is not pregenerated, is so that we can change the
formatting etc on the fly. Perhaps according to a "max comments per page",
or "look and feel" parameters. The CPU load in formatting comments is
pretty insignificant, especially compared to the other things it does at the
same time.
There might be some arguements for caching the comments in the filesystem
(on www.php.net), but the gains are probably not worth the hassle, IMHO.
