It's a forumcache issue, the forumcache as programmed into vb by default is horribly inefficient in that it loads the entire forumcache into memory (i.e. permissions for all groups for all forums) even if you only are looking at one forum for a small subset of groups. We ran into this bottleneck a while back and had to rewrite the forumcache to not have the massive overhead.
