Or rather, don't. acts_as_tree uses an adjacency list model, which is simple, but ridiculously inefficient to query. What you generally want instead is awesome_nested_set, which makes it possible to retrieve all comment threads, to arbitrary depth, with one single query. acts_as_tree is almost never the right choice.
