Well, unfortunately, I can't do much with the message board since I didn't write it (Well, I could mod the piss out of the code, but I don't like doing that with the board much.. I hate wading through others mess). But, you are welcome to send suggestions to the author at
ted@ultimatebb.com . Mainly I just configure how the thing looks, and what options I want on or off.. I have moded the code slightly with a couple tweaks, but nothing major.. This thing seems to be pretty damn sensitive.
Anyway, to answer your question, YES. With only 40 message threads being displayed per page it loads MUCH quicker.
