-It only takes at worst 3 minutes, at best little more than 30 seconds.

-As it will be completely clean and new, there will be no lag when entering the thread or any slowdown of any kind.

-It would avoid bothering the users that took part in the old, dead thread and moved on with their lives, and it would still appear in the most recent pages/threads so everyone can see it.

There is no real, significant problem with doing that, only advantages. If someone wants to say something mentioned in the dead thread, copy-and-paste is more than enough. Or even just a link.
