May I ask why this cannot be accomplished using a JOIN (and adding appropriate field(s) to the url_alias table) rather than adding a new field to the node table?
Not all aliases in the url_alias table are nodes, and hence we cannot have a "nid" column. If we do a join, it will have to be on a string (e.g. "node/123") which will be very expensive as joins go ... The same type of performance drag that the concat of realm in node access ...etc.
