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.

Best,
