The URL is short only because you have not bothered to remove unnecessary data. For example the entire "&unread=1&rid=1162#msg_14064" can be safely removed.

If you seriously intend to put a forum message/topic to extremly large audience, for example slashdot or have it featured in a magazine. It would be far better to simply save the page as a completely static HTML file, so that PHP/SQL is not even involved in page generation. For small audiences you should not experience any slowdowns unless:
1) You got a very slow server
2) Your server is under a heavy load
4) You have a lot of users (500+) accessing the forum at the same time.
5) Your SQL server is on a remote server and communication between SQL & Web server is slow.
6) You are using PHP as CGI (specifically cgi, not fastcgi).

For example if you were to use MySQL 4.0 the query cache would just about eliminate all SQL work associated with displaying of the same message/topic to large audience within short span of time.
