Blog Speed: Implementing Some Old Standards

I had overlooked a few standard optimizations which I should have included from the beginning:

2. Use DAO to bypass EJB finders when analyzing large lists -- Getting the latest comment.

I have to say, it feels pretty fast again -- I'll have to go screwing it up again real soon.
