I think that would just make it worse, seeing as more people would be posting because of it.
It's not a simple issue to just run out and fix. Upgrading software can help, as can upgrading hardware. Part of the problem is that the search function on the forums wasnt built to search through a very large database that is shared between 2 sites with millions of posts.
A lot of the content on TR is index'd in google and sometimes using the google search can find you what you want, it's not always perfect though so for right now, disabling search when things get very loaded is the only option.
