Why not just convert to a better forum? Ie., SMF. Much lower memory usage, a ton more features, and the conversion from phpBB to SMF is a piece of cake.
I don't have any problems with my SMF forum and managing it is a ton easier than managing my old phpBB forum was... and I know it uses less resources because I switched to SMF after getting a nasty email from SiteGround telling me to lower the system resource usage or they'll have to remove my forum. The only change I've made since then was to go to SMF and now, about 25,000 more posts later, they still haven't sent me anymore emails.
