Without going into details, here's what I see happening with vB.

1) vB5 sends out all of the page layout, javascript, CSS etc. and it's loaded in the browser. This includes many things that aren't displayed on the page until some script action takes place.

2) The browser sends a request for the information to be displayed to vB5.

3) Because of the massive amount of information needed to display vB5 client side (which includes many things that don't show until a script calls for it), that results in 60 to 100 database queries per client on page load.

Whereas, a per page server side system (with some clientside scripting) would make much more sense since only the data needed to display that particular page would be queried.

Even if that analysis is not fully correct. Anything that requires 60-100 database queries to display needs to be reviewed and re-written. There no need for more than say 15-30 queries for any page to display.
