Also, changing the entire forum structure for this would take 1) far too much time, 2) far too much work, and 3) would require you to go into the vBulletin code itself, which may or may not be possible.
Even if this change was made, it would have pretty much no positive effect on forum speed. If anything, it would slow the thing down with people now having to open more pages to check if there's been an update.
