Actually I think if someone would install your plugin it will use more than the whole vbulletin itself :ermm:

I think you should find a workarround for the forum permissions and try to get them in a different way, because now it's loading the whole forumcache. but only the last 5 posts are needed.

I would welcome any suggestions you might have but experience has shown me that people who install this hack do not want their users to see what they shouldn't and therefore the newest posts must be grabbed on a per user basis.

As for server load I haven't really looked into it with and without this hack and don't really plan to as load isn't solely based on the one page load however the query you talk about takes a fraction of time to load, even if it is on my relatively small board.

Time Before: 0.37994 seconds
Time After: 0.38122 seconds
Time Taken: 0.00128 seconds

So at the moment load isn't a concern to me. If you find your forum slows up when this hack is installed then you are welcome to uninstall it.
