Nice idea. Could be something in the User Control Panel that can set defautly; but then be used on the advanced post screen if someone needs/will change it because they are posting differently.

Given that graph posted above, I understand why, but still think its kinda weird that more people aren't using their ITs to browse the board. Performance not withstanding, I wonder if it has more to do with just the way the site sits on the IT (not getting into that design convo again, but its somehting I was thinking).
