I disagree completely.

I prefer to have regard to the statement of requirement, which in this case
is a concern over performance. If following conventional design rules
creates performance issues, then performance related issues come first when
considering design.

- personally, I would consider integrity, and then reliability, above performance. But then 80% of any performance hit is in the application code. Design a database that gives you confidence in the data it stores first and foremost.
