   Hi,

   I've noticed that the query for excluding a category on front page does put a big load on the database (there's a lot of posts on this wp.

   The one i use looks like this:

   <?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=-65'); ?>

   Is there any more efficient way of doing this with maybe a smarter query of some sort.

   Thank you!

   I would recommend using WP_Query.

   This recent article does a nice job of going through the different ways to customize the loop.
