Define large scale. Regardless of the size of your forum, that doesn't change your SHOWTHREAD page. Forum size is irrelevant. However, if an additional 2 queries is of concern to you this result could still be achieved with a quick file edit which would add no additional queries.
I chose this method because a plugin is far more desireable than file edits. Your choice.
However, if you find different results as to the performance load incurred, I'd love to know. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of a large scale / uber-active forum to test on.
