I don’t see any reason why it would slow things down entirely. I’m pretty sure there should be an option to have it on a page itself instead of on all pages, or at perhaps a way for those with less forgiving bandwidth to disable it appearing on each page, but we’d have to look into it.
Does the forum as it is cause problems for our dial-up users? The Vanilla software is pretty smooth (mainly because it’s not got all the bloated extras that are associated with phpBB et al) already, so it may have to be tested before implementation.
