Is there a mod which can do this?

So that at the top right of the forum I can have something like this:

"<text from a random post>"
-<username>
-<thread name>

I made one myself, but it instead of the pages loading in less than a second, they took about 2 seconds to load, so I turned it off.

I used the global_start hook as anything else seemed to be processed too late.

Actually, if I post the code maybe someone will be able to help:

PHP Code:

<?php

$Qrs = $db->query_first('
    SELECT pagetext, username, p.dateline, t.title, p.postid 
    FROM post p
    INNER JOIN thread t on t.threadid = p.threadid
    ORDER BY rand() 
    LIMIT 1
');

$Qtext        = $Qrs['pagetext'];
$Qusername    = $Qrs['username'];
$Qdate        = $Qrs['dateline'];
$Qthreadtitle = $Qrs['title'];
$QqPostid     = $Qrs['postid'];


//setup
$Qurl = "http://forum.website.co.uk/showthread.php?p=$QpostID#post$QpostID";
$Qdate = date("jS M y", $Qdate);
$Qtext = trim($Qtext);


//replacements
$Qtext = str_replace('[B}',  '<b>', $Qtext);
$Qtext = str_replace('[/B]', '</b>', $Qtext);
$Qtext = str_replace('[I]',  '<i>', $Qtext);
$Qtext = str_replace('[/I]', '</i>', $Qtext);
$Qtext = str_replace('[U]',  '<u>', $Qtext);
$Qtext = str_replace('[/U]', '</u>', $Qtext);
$Qtext = str_replace('[IMG]', '<a href="', $Qtext);
$Qtext = str_replace('[/IMG]', '">Image</a>', $Qtext);


//remove everything before [/quote] if it exists
$QcutQuote = "[/QUOTE]";
$QquotePos = stripos($Qtext, $QcutQuote);

if($QquotePos !== false) {
    $QstartFrom = $QquotePos + strlen($QcutQuote);
    $Qtext = substr($Qtext, $QstartFrom);
}

//make url
$Qoutput = "$Qtext<br/><br/>- $Qusername<br/>\"<a href=\"$Qurl\">$Qthreadtitle</a>\"";

$Qquotes = $Qoutput;

?>

$Qquotes is in the top right advert template, and the script is started on global_start
