wpDisquz is really problematic in terms of performance. I'm looking forward to trying Epoch.

As Epoch is compatible and plays well with native comments, you may wish to try Epoch with our Thoughtful Comments plugin which adds front end moderation (in context) and advanced moderation tools as well as - tada - really powerful comment caching (creating blocks of 100 comments to reduce queries).

We programmed Thoughtful Comments to use all the native hooks as well so Epoch and Thoughtful Comments should be compatible.

PS. Quick caution: there's some recent compatibility issues with our comment caching and memcached so for the moment please don't enable comment caching on a memcached server (we'll fix the issue next week).
