On the project page it says "This module will probably consume more resources and run slower than the built-in comment module, so don't use it if performance is a concern. At least not until work has been done to benchmark."

I'm wondering how much of a difference in performance there is between Node Comment and the core Comment module. I know this comment has been on the project page for a long time.

Plus, what would be the performance difference between using Node Comment and Node Referrer (http://drupal.org/project/nodereferrer). I've also been using Node Referrer on a site because it allows a user to setup multiple types of 'comments' for a given content type. For example, users could add a "review" and/or a "photo" to a node, whereas I don't think Node Comments allows for this.

D6 1.x branch is not supported anymore. Closing
On your question: there's no big difference when comments are loaded from cache (Nodecomments 2.x has Views caching plugin). But initial rendering when cache is empty is still much slower.

This question is applicable to the new version too.

Does the form for adding a comment load a lot more slowly?

Is it slower than the Node Referrer?

Is an elephant slower than a whale ? You are comparing totally different modules.

Well, they can be used for the exact same purposes. So, given the purpose, do you know which one is faster?
