Well right now I get about 15 queries a second, which is pretty high. Also 90% of my visitors are for the non-vb pages, my forum makes up about 10% of my hits.
I also have a lot of non-vb pages, upwards of 1000, so if you're browsing my site you're running a lot of queries. Ill try stopping those three queries and see if it makes a big difference, thank you.
What is the platform of your non vb pages is it homebrew php? or a CMS or plain HTML or .....
