One reason vB4 is slower than vb3 is the use of shading and rounded corners. Add this to the bottom of the additional.css template and your forum will speed up considerably.

PHP Code:

* { -moz-box-shadow: none !important; }
* { -webkit-box-shadow: none !important; }

* { -moz-border-radius: 0px !important; }
* { -webkit-border-radius: 0px !important; } 


Feedback from users, saying their forum loads faster.

Measurements with Firebug showed no speed increase after removing the rounded corners.
It is a browser site rendering process and has nothing to do with the page request so the "speed effect" totally depends on the hardware specs of the visitor.
