how many database queries is "too many"?

On average, how many database queries do each of your web applications make per page load or AJAX request? How many database queries does each visitor generate per second on average?

How many database queries does webdeveloper.com generate on average per page load? Each visitor per second?

According to a google search Vbullitin software(which these forums run on) calls between 3 and 18 queries per page, depending upon the exact page requested and a few other pieces of information.

I have some user/content pages that make like 50-100 queries a page, albeit I only do this with very simple, quick queries. And there is probably a better way to do it.

Hmm, and a lot of my imports are still doing erm... hundreds of thousands, if not millions of queries per page. They work, but there is almost definitely a better way to do this.
