Any tips on optimization would be appreciated, or just a steer about whether it might be the sidebar, or just the standard VB blocks themselves that it uses which are to blame. A great mod but I don't think we can justify another server to run it

This has nothing to do with the mod itself.
It is related to what you have in your sidebar. Enabling all sort of blocks everywhere in your pages is not a wise thing. You can enable light blocks everywhere, other blocks (that is calling db alot) enable them in some pages. ESB allows you to do, so use its options.
