I know that you know this, but it helps to think of things in a cost/ benefit mindset. Most sites are read-heavy, so the redirect only occurs on a very small percentage of requests. Even an active site will see less than 1 post for every 500 views, so creating a 501th request is well worth it to reap the benefits already discussed in this thread.
FYI, in my tests, the expensive part of Drupal is the bootstrapping.
That is not the bootstrap process as such, but loading and parsing all the files, that is a general PHP issue. Two known solutions exist: Opcode caches or split mode. :) Cheers, Gerhard
