[QUOTE=Cool Matty]I find having it pull off some cached posts from the cache table would be a lot faster than pulling an entire thread down along with related included files for display as each member goes thru threads that they don't necessarily want to read.[/QUOTE]
vBulletin is the crappiest when it comes to this. They store so much, and they run zillions of slow queries to pull it out. It's faster than a file-system based forum.... but not by much.

Have you seen their source? They're not great, either. I went with vb because they had an importer for all the users/threads from ubb.
