The trees command currently has to make a request for every single comment. Algolia have an endpoint that bundles the entire thread together into a single request.

https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/items/ID

Here's an example that loads quickly, with about 50 comments: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/items/27941108

It doesn't appear to use pagination at all - if a thread is big then the response is big.

I ran this search to find some stories with more than 1000 comments: https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?tags=story&numericFilters=num_comments%3E=1000

Here's one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25015967 with 4759 comments.
