Without the date cut, you scan the hole tables for threads/posts, then you simply select the first 10.
That's really bad, if you have a huge board, it could bring your server to it's knees... very easy.
The date cut will lower A LOT the table scans, because you select only a small segment of threads/posts.
So yes, it is a performance increase.

I made 2 comments there at the top, to explain how to set the date cut, depending on how busy is your board.
