perhaps a preview of just your post would be sufficient.
I bring this up because of the huge volume of posts, especially on the titty board ( where posts stress the server the most). Each new 'post' is effectively an additional 'view' of the thread, (which is not reflected in the total number of views) and is just a further load on the server.
This method will reduce the number of daily page views by the number of daily posts. Is this significant enough for the admins to consider? I feel that its a relatively painless method.
We should do whatever we can to make the existing site more efficient, before resorting to hardware upgrades.
