Out of curiosity, how many of those things do you use on your fast, lightweight sites?
tracker.module: Not fast.
If you're building a fast lightweight site that needs a tracker, you'd replace the core module with this: http://drupal.org/project/tracker2
blog.module: Does anybody *really* use this?
Sure.
node front page, river of news: The weight of 10+ node_load() calls vastly outweighs anything Views adds to this.
You'd fix this with one of these patches: http://tag1consulting.com/patches/load_cache http://drupal.org/node/111127
admin pages: It's ok for them to be a little heavy.
But why should they be if they don't have to be?
The blocks can be cached.
Caching is great, but it shouldn't be an excuse for unoptimized code. -Jeremy
