I've been busy working on a large number of performance improvements in Drupal 11.3 and contributed projects, together with @catch56 and many others.
Everything combined, we're seeing hundreds of queries less on complex pages. On one specific example page that we measured in a cold cache scenario, that's a reduction of 670 queries, 62% of the total queries. And that doesn't even include similarly reduced cache lookups and writes.
