Could Cache'ing be your issue?
I'm a Drupal novice - so this is just a quick thought from the peanut gallery.
Have you looked at your Cache settings. The Apress book says Drupal defaults this to on, but I've noticed Caching disabled in all of our installs.
Let me know if this turns out to the issue.

We've run into problems with sites running on Site5, where they claimed Drupal was using too much server resources, even with virtually no traffic. However, others have been running sites on Site5 with no problem so our experience does not seem to have been typical.
