Comment:

 The performance reasons are verbose rewrite rules which are triggered when
 WordPress is required (in the most simple form) to differentiate between
 pages and categories.

 About a year ago there was an extensive discussion on wp-hackers about
 this. I suggest reading through http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-
 testers/2009-January/011097.html. This also came up on wp-hackers in the
 last few days. If you want the full explanation of the problem, that
 thread pretty much covers it.

 There have been discussions on ways to make improvements to verbose
 rewrite rule handling but they need to be handled at the rewrite level.
 One option is to use verbose rules for categories, for example, if the
 number of pages outnumber the number of categories.

 Tempted to close as wontfix, or maybe a duplicate if there is an existing
 rewrite ticket is open somewhere?
