[support] Panels or block ?

[Michel Morelli]

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.
