A nice feature of vBadvanced Homepage is that it is optimized and designed for large web sites. vBadvanced Homepage performs only 5 queries with all the options turned off. Some options will cause the script to perform extra queries, but even with all the options turned on it still performs only 17 queries at max.
Here is a list of each extra function that will cause extra queries:
News - 1 query
Latest Threads - 1 query
Poll - 1 query (2 if the user has voted)
User's Avatar - 1 query
Buddy List and/or Online Users - 1 query
Mini Calendar - 3 queries (none for the simple calendar)

Sorry guys. My brother was trying to figure this out for me. I was finally able to play with it. All I had to do was get the path correct and change my server's safe mod off.
