Given how wide spread the use of gravatars are, I wonder if it’d be worth suggesting to Automattic about a feature enhancement that would allow for generating gravatar sprites?
That way, you could make a single request to the gravatar servers to generate the gravatars for a given page in one go and then just use the simple CSS sprite technique to switch them out for each comment.
