Advice / Feeback regarding multiple forums and subforums, please.

Here's our main forum page: http://www.marineengine.com/boat-forum/forum.php

We have a good number of forums, some of which have a huge number of sub-forums as a result of our old software. Our old forum (active for many years) was set to archive every few weeks and those archives became sub-forums when we migrated to vB.

Anyone have advice on how to manage old threads in a way that is useful for users and crawlers alike? Obviously a fleet of sub-forums is not it. But I'm not sure what IS a good system.

I'm also wondering if a large number of sub-forums is slowing down the forumdisplay.php page. Some users are complaining about slowness, which I have learned is no surprise. I'm following various pieces of advice about improving performance. Today it occurred to me to ask the community about the sub-forums.

So... Any thoughts on sub-forum and archive organization would be welcome. And tell me if a boatload of subs is killing performance. Thank you!
