Actually there's a better way to reduce server load with this...

Open up the XML file and find:

if($this->registry->options['helpans_hidefirst'] AND $this->post['postid'] == $this->thread['firstpostid']){
$show['helpfulanswer'] = false;
$show['rate_helpfulanswer'] = false;
}

Change that to:

if($this->post['postid'] != $this->thread['firstpostid']){
 $show['helpfulanswer'] = false;
 $show['rate_helpfulanswer'] = false;
}

Now only the first post will show ratings.
