Over the past 6 months, we have been working with a few news publishing organizations. Some have smaller production/editorial departments with 5-6 people while others have much bigger operations.

Litenode is a new module that uses Views to replace multiple node_loads() on a page. The largest source of queries on a page is almost always node_load(). It can push your query count very high, since each node has multiple queries run. That means that there tends to be a nearly linear relationship between the number of nodes on the page and the number of queries.
