Ah... thanks for clearing this up, tye. Obviously, my reading of holli's suggestion was strongly influenced by what I would like to see implemented... :) Sorry for the confusion.

Anyhow, any improvement along these lines would be greatly welcome, as what I currently typically do to handle such high-traffic threads is to click on the (assumably new) "Re^N:"-subthreads in Recently Active Threads, and then - because I need some more context - click on the parent node link once or twice. Presuming I'm not the only one doing it this way, this is not only cumbersome to handle, but also creates a lot of unnecessary requests to the server. — But of course, I respect the decisions of whoever would have the trouble implementing the changes.
