Yes, it isn't the program as a whole, just some pals that are the problem.
I pulled in a new copy of our database (I'd been using one that was almost a month old) that has 230k posts. I have the following pals turned on:
menu search login new member news (from 1 forum only) (limited to 3 or 5 really didn't make a difference) polls (from 1 forum only) short stats random member profile
With all of those turned on, it's consistently at .3 - .4 seconds -- very nice!
One of the biggest influences on time for us is limiting the forums in news and polls. We have about 40 forums (about 1/2 aren't visible because they are only being used to store archives right now). If I didn't limit the forums to just 1, it added several seconds to the polls.
I'd love to be able to add the other pals on, if/when they are able to be speeded up. But it's still functional with the above turned on, and it isn't slow at all with the huge number of posts.
