as simple as you can get.
What I am saying is simple is TOO SLOW, especially when dealing with
individual ids. Why are you rejecting me?
REST doesn't necessarily mean that you replace each item individually,
you can use RESTful interfaces to replace collections of items in a
single transaction. If you update 100 rows of an SQL database, and use
100 transactions to do it, that will be pretty slow too. If you replace
the rows in a single transaction, you get different performance.
Similarly, if you replace 100 key-value pairs with 100 transactions,
you'll be a lot slower than if you update the same data structure with a
single transaction containing a list of all 100 KVPs.
"REST is slow" is a meaningless statement.
