+1 on proper normalization as the base rule, and having exceptions only in
crucial
cases.

-1 on extra joins caused by 1:1 relationships being placed in more than one
table.

Not that also Drupal.org has already moved to InnoDB, so table locks should
not be happening as they have been on MyISAM, aside from the table lock
on autoincrement.
