The forums I run are almost innavigable at times. The pages take forever to load, if they do at all, and it's especially bothersome with long posts typed out that don't go through. Other parts of the site still load at normal rates. It might just be the server I'm running it on, but I'm not sure, so I'm trying a few things there, too.
there is no doubt that both joomla and SMF are tough on servers, and loading them in one page makes it worse, however a decent webhost should be able to handle the load. But there will always be some times when someone else on your server is running a backup or something that causes your php to timeout. That is configurable as well, although extending it probably isn't a good idea.
Joomla and SMF both load fine separately. It's only when I load the forum with J-SMF (unwrapped) that it slows down a great deal. I haven't used wrapped because I haven't yet designed a template that works very well for that. I will have to soon, though, since our previous template crapped out last night for no apparent reason and the backup copy won't load either. For now, I just changed my links so they load the default SMF location. Everything's working unwrapped for now.
