> one usually wants a lightweight commenting server ... [A few] commenting engines listed on the page are provided by heavy applications

A small ambiguity: There's a difference between being light weight client side, in the browser — versus server side:

1) End users notice the client side in-the-browser performance & light-weighted-ness. Whilst 2) the one who notices app server light-ness is the static site owner, who can save some $ each month.

However the comparisons page doesn't clarify that it apparently has in mind application server light / heaviness (and not browser-side).
