Yes, the issue comes from the fact dates (and times) are used in nearly every operation anyone does on the forum...and normally multiple times for every operation.
When you click a thread to read it, when you post, delete, edit, PM - even when you browse the site it is logging what you are going so that it can update the site for everyone else. Those times and dates are displayed in a lot of places too.
I could have it check a members profile and then display the time and date formats as specificied in your options - however, this is another fairly minor feature at the cost of another wedge of server resources.
It is a really tough balance to try to strike. I wanted to add as many cool features into RYL v3 as possible to make all you guys' lives that bit better - but a slow site is not going to be best for support, and so I was forced to make some sacrifices.
Sadly, this time/date format thing is notorious for bleeding resources on large busy sites, so until I can discover a more efficient way of doing it this is something that will have to stay on the wish list.
Sorry to not bring good news!
