Hello Peter, we have problems with a very high number of database queries. If there was a way to use ArticleAnywhere more cleverly, we would like to learn it. If there was a way to contribute to an improvement/optimisation of the plugin, we would also be happy. I say the latter because I've been following posts on the ModulManager forum where the number of queries was also discussed.
First off: the number of queries is not as important as how heavy they are. It is better to have 10 tiny queries that take up 0.01 sec, than 2 heavy ones that take up 0.1 sec.
Whether you can use Articles Anywhere more effectively, depends on how you are using it of course.
Without specific examples of usage and where I can see that the database queries are too much/heavy, I can't offer much advice...
