If you're thinking about removing entries in the database, e.g. posts ... bin that idea.I like that erd graphic though and the db structure I was able to download to spreadsheet. seems no real problems with doing mass deletions of posts to me but I haven't yet checked the foreign keys for cascades.
There are many posts that are a topic with nothing but 1 post ... so that topic would have to be deleted.
After removing posts, you'ld have to recalculate total postcount , postcount within topics, fix last post in a topic, including last post time and last poster etc...
As I mentioned (as did Floyd and probably others): use the native features and if you get timeouts, just reduce the number of posts to delete (e.g. forum per forum)
As to the cookie secure: ACP >> tab General >> Server configuration >> cookie settings.
Before doing anything : take a database backup
