Whether or not the BGG down page comes from a different server behind the firewall, it is still on the same subdomain using the same outward facing IP and likely cutting into the same allocation of bandwidth (though admittedly a relatively small amount).
I just don't see why they would purposely spend time to make it easier to have someone constantly hitting refresh.
