Smoothie, do a debug mode on your vbHome page, you have few queries extra there...
compare your debug mode list with the default one (all options enabled):

i'm sure you added some templates and forgot to cache them.
guys, dont go over the board and get to creative.
you have plenty of options there, do not add more if you want performance.
leave it the way it is and MAKE sure you disable the options you dont want, this is VERY important!!!
