I haven't. I don't think it is likely to cause any slowness in the server, maybe one of the plugins in combination with other hacks might have some problem, but for me is working fine

On template post_thanks_postbit_info find
<div>$vbphrase[post_thanks_thanks]: $post[post_thanks_user_amount_formatted]</div>
either delete it or wrap it in a conditional, I normally put one so only admins can see it (is good to monitor abuse etc ^^)
<if conditional="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6"> or <if conditional="$bbuserinfo[userid] == XX">
First one for usergroupid, the second one if you only want your-self to be able to see it.
Read This tutorial about conditionals, very useful.

Put the template hooks in the horizontal mode template (if horizontal is like vbulletin.org tempalte is called "postbit" otherwise (like phpbb forums generally) is "postbit_legacy" Put the hooks where they belong and it should work on the other method too ^^
