To me most interesting are factors I didn't consider in features I did cover. Next most interesting are features I didn't cover which are kinda core to Twitter being good, and also pose interesting performance problems, like the person who mentioned spam/abuse detection. After that are non-core features which pose interesting performance problems that are different from problems I already covered.
The comments that I think aren't contributing much are ones that mention features that I didn't cover but make no attempt to argue that they're actually hard to implement efficiently, or that assert that because I didn't implement something it isn't feasible to make as fast as I calculate, without arguing what would actually stop me from implementing something that efficient. Or ones who repeat that this isn't practical, which I say at length in the post.
