Split up recent comments page to allow more comments

Title:
Split up recent comments page to allow more comments

Area:
comments

Summary:
Split the recent comments page into separate pages for comments received and comments posted.

Description:
http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/recent_comments has a section for comments received and a section for comments posted. It has handy links to skip from one to the other. It defaults to 25 comments, and allows you to show up to 150 comments of either type.

However, if you pick 150 comments, you get both 150 comments received and 150 comments posted. This is a big page to load when you only wanted one or the other, so bad for dial-up, mobiles and the poor servers.

I'd suggest splitting this into two pages that you can toggle between, since most people will use the links rather than scrolling down 25 comments anyway. This will make the page faster to load, only give you the information you actually want, and open the door to the possibility of increasing the limit of 150.
