Discount all other characteristics that make a software good.

Which software is fastest?
 
I do not know,but if I had to guess it would be vanilla due to how lightweight it is.
 
AndroidOS is right, however, I've tested the following software (MyBB, vBulletin, phpBB, and SMF) on the same server, and SMF seemed to load the fastest.
 
Yeah, I figured it'd be SMF. Lol. But it depending on the internet speed...that's true, I'm sure.
 
FluxBB and punBB are very lightweight. One of them maybe?

Fluxbb and punbb are actually really well written and great. They are extremely underrated imo.

Haven't tried any new versions of punBB, but i agree that FluxBB have well written code.


Any forum software which has less features will load faster. 😛

Really all depends, how the admin has the server setup/etc, which accelerator he/she is using, what kind of server, nginx, lighttpd/etc..

A custom built software, if coded correctly, will be faster then any other software that's on the "market",

I could say the least slowest would be vbulletin, but if you go to offtopic.com and browse there forums, it's insanely fast for vbulletin.

I could say IPB 3.2++ is insanely slow, but there is some ipb 3.2 sites that are pretty fast.

Fastest will ofcourse be punbb or fluxbb, or small lightweight ones. It's really all a matter of opinion because if I say if this software is slow, I can also back up it up by showing a site that is running that software that is fast. (If you think I was wrong)

Some people say phpbb3 is really slow also, but there is alot of phpbb3 sites that are insanely fast too... so see where I am going? Really just depends



Partially because of these reasons is why I made my own, sick of seeing trash forum softwares that people have to download/use when they don't even use half of the features. IPB/vbulletin/xenforo, extremely hard on the server, no green footprint at all, extremely bloated with features most people wont even use, cost 100$+... It's not only a scam, it's unethical. I could go out and make the same thing and sell it NP, but no they want me to spend hours reading tutorials and trying to figure out how the AdminCP works first, instead of actually learning PHP/MYSQL. Those companies are a scam and I'd stay far away from them. In other words, you'll end up reading tutorials and figuring out how there admin CP system works FIRST before even landing a finger on some PHP/MYSQL code.
 
It all depends on how lightweight the software is. I mean if you disable a lot of the extra mods on it and objects to display on the webpages it can load faster. You can make the slowest forum software to the fastest if you wanted by disabling a lot of things.
 
You can finding fastest forum software then going to online searching is really best way to find better software for forum. At this time so many fastest forum software are available in market but i really like to using more SMF and they really good and other MYBB is also nice software for all.
 
It will definitely be a forum software which is lightweight, and a lack of features. Maybe bbPress but that is very limited.
 
Vanilla is a pretty fast forum. Fastest that I have seen. Less then a tenth of a second on a localhost install.
