They would be expected to provide a significant enhancement to
performance over:
a) Firing triggers,
b) Firing rules, and
c) Forcing the application to validate the data, and then adding
in "data validation" reports to report on the cases where a buggy
application violated the constraints.
So yes, they should be considerably faster than any of their
alternatives.
