If you want a fast board, do NOT install any hacks. Leave it standard, the way it is.
I'm pretty sure none of the hackers have the testing power vBulletin team has.
Their software is tested in 10 servers, while using all OS combinations available on the market. Plus they also stress test the software under heavy load. Not to mention the private betas... If you install a cheap hack, you have a lot of chances to break your server, under heavy traffic.
You have no idea how many hacks are badly written, here.

Now, back to topic. Many large boards actually disable options on their forum software so they free as much possible the resources alocated.
