VirtueTech,
I wanted to check what you're saying, so I ran &explain=1 on a thread with 29 posts, on a limited resources server. First I did it on an "out of the box" vb 2.2.1:

spending 0.098392963409424 doing MySQL queries and 1.4684149980545 doing PHP things.

The I did with with only this hack added:

I am the only user on this server, so it's pretty much "lab tested".
Also, the load average on my server right now is 0.66, 0.73, 0.75 with ~80% CPU idle and 334 processes.
There are currently 67 members on my BB. I don't know how many guests (my who's online page doesn't seem to count guests, always saying 0 for that :/)
So from my own standpoint, I haven't noticed a change in load. But I really don't know much about this stuff so I'm all ears if you have suggestions.
Thanks,
Bira
