The early LWN site ran on some pretty minimal hardware; as a result, it does a lot of aggressive caching of rendered pages. For anonymous readers, it essentially is static pages, comments included. Logged-in users get freshly rendered pages so that their preferences can be honored, but the cost of that is zero relative to the bot load.
