Observation: Pagination is totally awesome.  It was pretty easy to setup using the defaults.  My baseline before optimizing this rails application was 1 minute 14 seconds.  I was able to optimize it down to 1.4 seconds.  These times were obtained by executing time curl.  I used pagination, caching, and eager loading for this assignment.

I set the pagination to 5 posts per page.  In this case, the comments/replies were quite large so, 5 seemed like a good number.  Is there a rule of thumb to follow when using pagination on how many items per page and should the page navigation be at the top, bottom, or both top and bottom?
