Yeah I mean increase speed, decrease generation times. I been sorta kicking myself for that wording lately... lol
I believe you'll get the same time results with your main board. Caching the various boxes helps a great deal and spreads the queires out so it wont be to often that one person lands with updating everything.
The shoutbox isn't cached so each page load shows exactly what's there at that moment. But after reading your question again I think you mean a meta refresh and no it doesnt. I left that out but I'll definately make it an option for the next release. My reasons were that I didn't think admins wanted a bunch of people killing 4 queries every x minutes as they watched the page reload and reload and reload... lol
