 Steps to reproduce:
 1. Create 400 comments programatically:
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 $data = array(
     'comment_post_ID' => 1,
     'comment_author' => 'admin',
     'comment_author_email' => 'admin at admin.com',
     'comment_author_url' => 'http://localhost/',
     'comment_content' => 'Comment content goes here',
     'user_id' => 1,
     'comment_author_IP' => '127.0.0.1',
     'comment_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
 rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)',
     'comment_date' => current_time('mysql'),
     'comment_approved' => 0,
 );

 for ( $i = 0; $i < 400; $i++ ) {
     wp_insert_comment( $data );
 }
 }}}
