It should not have much of an impact on the load times, but, I think I have a solution for this that will also be in this upcoming release. Right now, the stats are realtime. Meaning - every post effects them as soon as someone refreshes. This adds a couple queries to forum home.
I'm putting in a 'delayed' options, where you can set the number of minutes. If set to 0 it's basically the same as realtime. However, if set to 10 for example, then the trends data would only change every ten minutes, and use much less resources.
