Currently comments trigger the same chain of events as if the page itself had been modified (at least this seems to be the case). A way of keeping comments lightweight and out of ikiwiki would be great. This has obvious consequences but currently comments are to slow for my users. My site is complex with tags and trails (albums) so commenting the wrong page leads to several minutes of rebuild (being conservative here...).
