 If a post has more than (comment_per_page) comments, we should query them
 specifically, not query all the comments and sort in PHP (doesn't scale
 well).

 Logic:

 if threading is off, use a simple limit query

 elseif the page has equal or fewer comments than (comments_per_page),
 query them all

 else query (comments_per_page) parent comments, and keep doing queries for
 their children, up to the threading limit (10).
