No, not really - expecially when it's down to an INSERTs-only
scenario. Just an effort to help spreading the load.

The concept of a plugin ID is already there. post_tag feature
implements this and is coded into the 'agent_id' field. It
was originally conceived right for this purpose. It could be
an idea for the future to allow OR'ing of its value into the
'agent_id' field for a smooth co-existence of pre- and post-
tagging. 

Cheers,
Paolo
