I haven't looked at TBPR in over a year, and can honestly say it really hasn't impacted my ability to SEO or do my job even a little bit... I'm sure it's been at least a year and could have been over a year and a half since I've even had the toolbar installed. IMO You should definitely: Don't even worry about it.

While I understand what you are saying, this time around in my particular situation the TBPR provided useful feedback. I have recently worked on improving interlinking. Now, instead of seeing mostly PR N/A for the vast majority the old pages of my 2 year old forum with 20k pages, now I finally see many (most?) of even old and not-so-important pages actually showing some PR. It's nice to have such feedback.

The traffic, while I agree is a more important factor, may not be for my site the best indicator at the moment, because has been going up rather steadily since the start just over two years ago.
