There is almost always a trade-off between flexibility, abstraction,
etc. and performance, but one typically tries to strike the right
balance between the two extremes.  The right balance typically falls
between the cost of extending and maintaining a fast but inflexibility
application, and the cost of having to throw hardware or other
optimizations as a slow but highly configurable application.  I'm
certain Sean's team understands this equation and has made their
decisions accordingly.
