As I type this there are 5 members and 472 guests on line. If you find that performance starts taking a hit, you might check the IP addresses of the guests. My guess is that at least half of them are bots that are coming from overseas. And if you check your PHP log files, I'll bet that several of them are attempts to break into the forum. It's not too hard to lock-out huge blocks of those IP addresses by range at the system level.
