Juast as an info about this topic
The guys like Baertram and Sirinsidiator were talking about something, I forget what it was. However, whatever it was the conversation was about something happening too quickly without a delay. If the delay wasn't there that it would kick the user from the server. If I remember correctly Dolgubon was asking what the delay needed to be. He was potting a delay in to prevent people from getting kicked using his mod.
This was not related to the guild history but general server "spams" like deconstruction too fast (not using multi deconstruct but item by item) and crafting/improving/extracting gylphs.

The guild history is somewhat different but also needs a delay.
The delay was added by ZOS, not MM or other addons! And it's at the server side not client (lua code).
And it's clearly added because the ADDONS query the server data too often and too fast which related into the server performance problems, login problems and so on.
The MM changelog also got the info in so you only need to read and accept it
ChangeLog for 2.2.1
Turbo Mode removed at ZOS's request.
-> ZOs, not MM's decision

So even IF MM would be changed and the turbo mode was implemented AGAIN (against ZOs will!!!): The problem would be the server are not able to handle it properly and would boot you, or others, or start to freak out again.

ZOs needs to change the server structure and databses for the guilds and histories and after that addons would be working normal/better again. But for now: You need to use what is given, slow and constant, but working.

Or strip MM and use ATT (which will most likely use another way of the turbo mode just the user amounts using ATT is not that big as MM and Zos had not contacted the author of ATT yet to remove the fast scanning then... so expect this to happen as well if the amounts of users using ATT increases and the server load increases as well due to this!).

If you cannot trust us here, who got the insights, and this all is not what you want to hear and read: Just go on and ask for a fix where there is none
Or stop it finally and accept it, and wait for an official feedback by the addon's authors and ZOs maybe.
And maybe bug on ZOs's official forums instead, with as much ppl you can get so they notice, about guild history changes with cached data w/o a need to query the servers each time.
Thank you.
