Michel,
Panels are created "per page", sort of. However, with panels' "contexts," which is sort of like a Views argument, you can make one panel page apply to an unlimited number pages that have the same "context." For example, you could have a panel that shows node content for that node and then a view in the block that uses that the user id of the author of that node as the argument for the view in the block. That might show other recent content written by that author. So you only have one panel page in that situation, but it generates dynamic results for every node displayed.
Panels is incredibly powerful. There is definitely a serious learning curve for it. Personally, I think it is worth the learning curve.
I can't comment on performance.

Hi all. I'm rebuilding site and I have a "performance problem" with a page.
This page needs to contain text (node body) and a block from a view.
Now, I can link the block in the "content" region and via block's
settings I can say Drupal to display this block only when the users are
viewing that page.
But I could have the need to have some other pages of this type (with
other blocks). My question: is this (block-region) the best solution or
is better to use "panel" module ?
And: is the panel modules load for every page or only when it's required ?
Statistic of this site say me that the page views are 1.5M+, 50% are
from forum and other 50% are internal page.
This particolar page generate 10K+ page views.
Tnx for all.
M.
