OK, got some clarification from 7thElement: he says it is not the total number of posts on the board, but the total number of posts by that member which affects it. That seems rather different from what Darker said, but I'll go with it because 7th is the man with the scripts.
Name changes cause a lot of load IF the user has a high post count because the mysql query searches the whole database (currently 700 MB) for posts and changes the username (the username is stored with every post)

i will be moving to a new location soon, which means a different computer, with a completely different netblock. which means i could, if i wanted to, create another account and kill this one. i have always been a "one account" type person, i never considered doing otherwise until now. however, there are two small reasons it might be appropriate to consider creating another username, and killing this one:
1.i'm sick of the name "mediaslayer" that is not my name on irc, soulseek, or anywhere else. when i first joined i had a problem with kazaa, so i just made up a dumb name in order to post. now i'm sick of it, i even loathe it.
2.my personality on this board has changed alot, and i think it is possible a new identity would be in order.
in this thread, j'pol seems to be endorsing multiple accounts, and probably enjoying the confusion that it causes. but what do you think? furious four members, now is your chance to slam me, for considering doing that very thing that started that ruckus. so tell me, should i cave in to social pressure or not? is it wrong to be curious about such a dastardly thing?
But it would be kind of you to inform us which one you finally took.
As my Signature represents some parts of me which are changing I also changed my Signature.

things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
