Hi Everyone.

I noticed something with the site that I am working on and I am trying to pin point an answer.

In the site that I have made, I have custom content types for video, events and user profiles.

I created blocks using the views module to display, latest videos, upcoming events and user profiles.

Everything was working fine and looked good.

I recently started using the devel module to test the performance of the website.

I saw that I was averaging 480 queries on the frontpage.

Every time the page loaded devel would show that 20 times profile_load_profile and user_load queries would be run 4-6 times.

I turned off the blocks and now I am getting 320 queries on the frontpage.

The site seems much faster now as well.

What is the reason for this? Did I do something to screw up views or create the blocks wrong?

It seems like there is something weird about this since it is loading user_load a 100 times totally each time the frontpage loads.

There has to be something I am doing wrong.

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Would caching help?

Any help, suggestions or info would be appreciated.

Thanks!
