-Change the setting **"New Listing" Time Limit:** to the first selection, **no display of new listing icon**.  The new icon requires it to "count" the number of listings in each category placed within a certain time period "on the fly", which creates a huge load on the database for high traffic sites.  To a lesser degree this is true for category counts as well, since when a site filter is applied, it requires the software to count the number of listings in a category "on the fly".  If your site makes heavy use of filters such as Geographic Navigation, Zip Search, etc. you may consider turning off category counts to speed page load times.
