There's a belief held by many that adding features necessarily affects performance negatively. That is not by any means a rule and to make decisions based on only that assumption does a disservice to the broader community.  Having the option of custom post types and the option of URL routing should not negatively affect those sites that do not use those options if the enhancements are architected with performance in mind.
