If performance were an issue, I'd benchmark it as is, then test it using a find_by_sql. So far, performance hasn't been an issue for me. I'd also have to figure out how to go about initializing models with the values pulled from that find_by_sql. Premature optimization, and all that. MIchael Koziarski brings up an interesting point, however, and I'm interested in hearing discussion on that as well.
