Yeah, well, call me crazy, but what about some form of Big-O notation for
web based patterns.  In Computer Science and Mathematics, we use big-o to
describe the performance cost of different algorithms in simple terms.  Why
not find a way to describe the cost of different patterns?

I agree that the main goal is to have maintainable code, but why not provide
some type of performance cost?

I don't see why i should be joking, but if you want me to, i will.
I didn't say i want streamlined, optimized examples but a rough 
performance cost estimation for these patterns is definitely something I 
would like very much, for i don't about your vast hardware resources 
but i sure know that almost each application i wrote in cf sooner or later 
came to a point where performance DID matter. For all my latest 
applications even BOTH (design patterns AND performance) were part of the 
technical specifications, as it is standard procedure in developing 
applications in our team at the European Council. But maybe they're just 
joking as well :)

That already makes it 3 cents i guess :)

kind Regards
