[wp-hackers] Memory spike in comments_template()

... Writing this turns out to be a complicated mod because the various
comment helper functions and callbacks presume that $comments has all
the comments. :-(

----> Well, this means while WordPress is not a blog anymore per se,
WordPress is NOT a discussion forum either, because WordPress doesn't
scale when it has a plethora of comments.

In the meantime, the palliative that lowered the memory usage by 3MB
is by commenting out "update_comment_cache($wp_query->comments);"
