I loaded (reloaded, actually) an "Active Topics: Past 24 hours" page after having been away from my computer all day. It took about 8 seconds or so for anything to happen (and then the page loaded instantly). Bottom-of-the-page info:

Generated in 18.235 seconds in which 17.228 seconds were spent on a total of 24 queries.

I subsequently opened half a dozen threads, each in its own tab, all of which loaded straightaway and had numbers more like this:

Generated in 0.025 seconds in which 0.004 seconds were spent on a total of 15 queries.
