As the server will have to dynamically render each page anyhow (barring any cache-ing issues -- and those will be the same for a read/write as for a read-only site), adding the few links which allow you to go to a page where you can enter your comments, would not really make a difference.
The speed (or perceived lack of it) has nothing to do with the fact that we can write comments. If you never write a comment, you will not experience any delays in your comments being accepted, but the rendering of the pages will be as "fast" (not faster) as for anyone. Now if there was a separate server that only serves pages to those who are not interested to make comments, there is a chance that it might be faster, but only due to the fact that that server would be less used and thus the load on the server --by definition-- will be less. But if you are adding another server anyhow, why not make it a full read/write site also? If you divide the load over more servers, you get better response in any case.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James In reply to Re^3: Read Only Perlmonks
