If by “consume” you mean “acquire the contents” of all those comments, well, you’ll have to read them all.
A more interesting question to me for a while has been, how to follow the evolution of a deep thread in which the time it takes to read a larger amount of comments, even more are made. How to know where all the new ones are? It’d be cool to be able to diff a thread based on timestamp.
