Right, furthermore, all micro-benchmarks that one comes across over
the internet should really be taken with a grain of salt. If you have
to make a choice, whatever it is, think of the SLA you want to attain
on your application, create a representative test scenario, run it,
and measure. That's the best way to know you're doing the right thing,
by checking by yourself. You'll notice that most of the time, the
performance will be more than enough -- especially if most of the time
is spent talking with a database, or waiting for user input.
