The problem with the comment server (which also affected all the other RCS functions, like Recently Updated) was the result of individuals spamming the server with repetitious lengthy posts. This problem also affected the main UserLand comments server.
UserLand has implemented a maximum limit on the length of a comments thread. The good news is that this deals with the problem. The bad news is that this limits the length of comments threads.
Longer term fix in the works: allowing bloggers to delete posts.
