@MCA, condensing your post - new board code isn't an option then?
Invision with a clean skin can load the board VERY fast. There's a "text-only" skin for example, that contains virtually no graphics what so ever.
...not to mention that the whole board system is miles in advance to what UBB will ever be, in all aspects. It is by far the best board around, even in comparision to the one's you have to pay for.
