most large sites don't update their veis on eery page load. they get loaded to a cache, and a task is run every 15 min or something to update the database.
Forums databases are optimized for SELECTing data, NOT inserting (due to indexes and constraints on the tables).
This makes viewing faster, but posting longer.
By pulling the update task out of real-time into a 1-time process, it saves server load and makes shit faster.
Our board has this option.
I have it disabled, as our server is more than capable of keeping up with out limited post counts.
we do in a day what H-T does in 15 min. unfortunately
