yes, you are right, models executed on every request. but you can use, 
model less application (define table using modules, best practice if you 
have the same table that been used by more than 1 web2py app) or 
conditional models (response.models_to_run)
In book you can see an advice :

   - Minimize the code in models: do not define functions there, define 
   functions in the controllers that need them or - even better - define 
   functions in modules, import them and use those functions as needed.
