I didnt test with very long threads so I dont know what would happen if it is applied to Store Hack thread for instance..
But I really dont think it would be a problem, because even a long thread should not take more than 30 seconds to compile. Depends on your MYSQL performance too of course.

do you know anything like that, or that a posters username disappears (as happens sometimes in my archiv hack, and i don't know why )

yeah I know! Same happened to me in this hack. I didnt bother to trace its reason but I applied a LEFT JOIN in my query to get the username from user table, instead of using the username in thread table. Strange but thread table usernames sometimes disappear as you mentioned.. Anyway take a look at my query and you can adopt the same method in your hack too. It obviously works..
