lots of queries ? is this bad ?

[s2kinteg916]

i looked at photopost which is what im using and did a print function and it says

MySQL queries: 470
is that bad ? it goes up to as much as 505

isnt vb and ipb only like 15 queries ?

does this put alot of strain on a server ?

I'm not sure how many queries would be too many for you. It depends on over how long of a time period that number of queries were made. It also depends on what kind of server your using and if it's shared with other users and sites.

A good way to see if this is straining your server would be to install phpsysinfo (phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net). Look at the server load as photopost is being used.

If you're worried about server overload, you could cache the content the query returns and refresh it every 6 hours or so. I use PHPCache_Lite. It's a small php class that does it for you.
