As far as I am aware there are only a handful of threads that are actually that long. I can only think of one in the 600 forum which is red98's stuttering thread. At the end of the day, software adjustments for a web forum aren't going to help that much when the traffic isn't that high.
Red's thread is "only" 935 replies long. Even capping the treads to 1000 means there's still room for another 64 replies; a number many threads don't even get near.
How about archiving threads where the last reply was over a year ago, making them read-only? Might that not lighten the load somewhat?
