It's not really funny, but it's logical, though.
10 seconds refresh for everyone. That makes one (or more, didn't have a look at the code) request to the DB, and some php data parsing.
If you have 100 users online at the same time, that will be 10 requests a second.
And I don't even talk about people who thought it would be a great idea to put the shoutbox on every page of the forum.
I uninstalled this hack as my little server couldn't handle the load.
I think a warning should be posted in the hack description, as I never thought it would be such a ressource hog.
