I think I was the first one that proposed to include preview links to the next few posts in my message Message 3294383

Technically it would be simple to implement the feature. The impact on the servers is not quite that clear. The database server will have more work to do because he has to load and process 5 records instead of 1 in the current implementation. The web server will have to send more information with each request because the links take up space. If the readers use the newfound reading efficiency to read more threads the servers will have more work. If they simply read faster by skipping posts the web servers will have to send out less.
