bad code? Not all html content is generated.

I have one web page.  It does one query for the totals, one query for the gridview, and for every row in that gridview, there is another query/gridview.

I feel like that's the reason that it loads slow.  There can more than 150 rows, so that means more than 150 queries to the database.  I know queries can go at a blink of an eye, but I don't know if this is a lot for a single web page.

The other thing is that sometimes the web page doesn't load web controls from the server... specifically an asp:literal and a asp:tablerow&asp:tablecell.
