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.
