My interpretation is that he has a "User" model which is a little different than what is defined in the openSocial Person model.
Like him, we have to "convert" our "User" to a "Person", which actually involves a couple of different tables, so cost is always a concern. What I'd like to hear is a brief outline of filter/fetch optimizations Paul used to translate the "first/max/sort" to queries?
