Why? If a topic is that popular it seems you should be featuring it, not closing it automatically. Of course, if a long topic starts to drift or get confrontational, it should be closed for those reasons, but then I would expect the moderator to post a reason for the closure.

simple reason = performance

I have somerthing similar. IMHO, that's a point of moderator to cut such threads by volumes - autoclose will confuses users.

well, i've seen private mod with similar function but with extended feature to auto-close a topic after certain number of posts and then make a new topic likely named "xxx Part 2" so the discussions can still continued. probably you've thinking a mod like this?

I would like to announce that I have modified this mod in such a way that it affects only certain user groups. Thus, for instance, one year old threads appear as closed to new members while senior members still may reply. Thanks to Vitaly for his permission.
