   My weblog is way slow lately and I tried a few solutions to boost up the performance.

   I've tried a few solutions:

   1. I removed all counters in order to boost up performance
   2. I removed all images that were hotlinked, I'm now hosting them myself
   3. I deactivated all WordPress plugins that weren't that necessary.
   4. I optimized and repaired the database of WordPress, and deleted unnecessary tables.

   And I came to the conclusion that the SQL database is the problem, I added a bit of php code to see how much queries where needed to display the page and how long it took to perform those queries.

   The results:

   Displaying 30 posts, without disabling some plugins: 120 queries or something like that.
   Displaying 30 posts and only using the necessary tables: 103 queries. 22.160 seconds. (I'm currently running this mode)
   Displaying 10 posts: 43 queries. 1.201 seconds.

   Or in other words: Way too much! It should be around 25-40 queries (afaik)

   What could it be? And how can I drastically lower the amount of queries?

   Thanks in anticipation :)

   Sounds like the server you're on is a little over-worked. :-\

   Try disabling all your plugins, then readding them one by one, and see if one is causing the problem.

   That seems a little high in the number of queries though.

   Thanks lunabyte, I've found the problem:

   Going from 13 to 103 queries thanks to:

   FeedWordPress | 0.98 | simple and flexible Atom/RSS syndication for WordPress | By Charles Johnson.

   I've already left a comment at this website to inform him about the massive increase of queries thanks to the plugin.
