Which do you folks think is faster: randomly accessing a table with a primary key and a dozen CHAR columns or a table with a primary key and a single merged TEXT column? The data in the 11 extra columns will always be fetched as a single request.
Both the same - with extremely minor variance.
I rolled my own benchmarking program and 10,000 runs each came out just about equal, which surprised me a little.
Wow. I'm right - what's the prize?
