The only reason those extra table joins would be happening is if you were 
querying on a custom field and in that case there would only be one extra 
join per field queried.  That seems a pretty small price to pay.  
Presumably most of the time people are going to be querying on the 
non-custom fields anyway which won't be any worse than it is now.

No, no, you're not thinking, you're just being logical.
