The load times which seem to be the only issue have been resolved within the past year

That is not true, VB3 during load testing was actually WORSE than VB2 by quite a large margin. When was the last version of Invision that you tried, in .2 versions, they managed to grow a lot
and mimic the features of VB very well, including the extensive backend, give or take for a few features, but on the other hand, it has some features that VB doesn't have. This is all in a package that is smaller, leaner, faster, and IMO more robust than the VB platform.
What substantiates VB's "superior" position to you?
Edit: And as you can see from above, VB has become the forum package that everything is compared against, it is a great package, and I respect it a lot. But it no longer holds the position it had a year ago IMO, especially with the release of VB3. IPB has for the most part caught up in terms of feel and functionality, phpBB has more mods and aftermarket support, and with the coming of Simple Machines, there will be a new player in the field worth taking note of!
