The issue is more about how many requests can the server handle at any given time. The database software we use can handle much, much more. I believe it is currently the server hardware that is limiting the speed of the forums.

Many sites that delete threads & users from their forums also do so because they are on shared servers and have a limited amount of hard drive space or database resources that they are allowed to use. GreekChat is on a dedicated server with full access to the resources of the server. It's just that the server is at times unable to handle the workload put on it.
