Top answer
This is a complex sentence starting with a main clause and followed by a subordinate one. In this situation you don't tend to include a comma; should you have written it the other way round ('as' clause first) then it would be normal to have the comma. However, if you feel a comma is doing a particular job to create a pause that reflects a speech pattern or that changes emphasis, you can override convention, but I'd not do so with this sentence.
