I've installed this on a site that has 300+ forums and it didn't increase the load any, however it didn't decrease it any either. I do have plans for a AJAX Version in the future which would be a lot better for larger forums like yours (its a ways out tho). If you have a development instance, you could test it out and compare the loads. From the sounds of your system tho, if the load is to high to display all your forums normally, its probably going to be the same load using this ... I'll keep you in mind for testing the AJAX version as I will need some beta testers when it comes time (if you are interested)
