yes it would be a little slow. Unfortunately you have to give up some efficiency for the flexibility of such a system. The same can be said with a lot of agile design patterns, they allow far superior flexibility but unfortunately you've got to model a lot of the data using objects, which can hinder the performance of your system :(

With that said, there are many ways to improve the performance of your PHP applications. I dont just mean small performance boosts either, you can increase performance over 50% by just using a compiler cache.
