Nah, doesn't make any difference. The Aqua stats take less than a minute to fully parse and update into the database.
Biggest problem is the milestones, I'm going to have to manually go in and delete a lot of milestones which have been posted. It's probably just a few sql statements though to delete all where the milestone is > current_credit.
As for the moderated post, I've made a small settings change, will see if this helps.
