Very interesting. What would this do with server loads? Would it increase overall load, or decrease it? I'm impressed.

From what i've seen, it's decreased my server load. They are using this hack over at forums.somethingawful.com as well - with ~ 1,800 concurrent users, and a lot of people there have mentioned that the site runs faster but YMMV.
I dont really have an accurate benchmark on which to gauge server performance though, but i've noticed my server load averages have been around 0.9 to 2.0 with an avg. of 80 members online - i remember them being a lot higher before, up in the 5s. I'm pretty sure the performance boost is since the server dosent have to do INSERT and SELECTs for each word in every new post thats added.
