Topic: number of users in punbb.org

i just flicked onto punbb.org and i saw it had 2693 members. i then did i little looking and there are currently around 1100 members that are registered and have not posted.
would these members that have registered and not posted be taking space up in the database and making punbb run slower??
sorry i was just currious.

Re: number of users in punbb.org

Since this board uses 1) (I am assuming) MySQL 4+ and 2) indexes, there is theoretically no performance hit. MySQL 4's query cache keeps it super-fast by keeping commonly used queries in the memory. The indexes act as a table of contents, telling MySQL exactly where the row exists so it doesn't have to search every time.
