"Security" plugins are also HUGE problem here, most of them turns "few cached DB SELECTs" (or static file read if you use caching plugin) into now a bunch of inserts, just to log/analyze "offender" IP and maybe block it, in many cases turning "blocking offender" to be more costly that would be serving the page without the security plugin
