JohnRob has this site designed so that threads don't max out until reaching 65,000 + posts !
If a thread seems to be slowing for you, it's most likely because of large graphics (~>50k) having been thoughtlessly posted on a particular page, or you have the number of posts per page set in your preferences higher than your pc's resources can handle swiftly.
