Based on my overall performance optimization work for Drupal sites, poor
performance is most often caused by poorly written modules.  Fixing those
modules properly can be time-consuming; and ideally you find someone who
takes the additional work for getting the improvement into the original
module as a matter of course - so next time you update your modules, you
won't have to (re-)apply patches/hacks.
