How much would this speed up say a MySQL DB? Would it be enough to eliminate the need to do some caching? Would it allow joins to be fast enough to not need to denormalize so soon?
My point is, does this buy out of the need (up to a certain scale) to use engineering time to solve scaling problems?
NOTE: I realize that you still want to use good design and plan for the appropriate amount of scale, I am just curious how much dev time this could potential save in terms of rewriting code for scale.
