Yes, this is a concern. Ive just spent a bunch of time removing an ORM
from an application due to performance and inflexibility issues.
It was for a different kind of application, where everything has to be
fast, with Koha, there are areas that definitely have to be faster
than others. We might have to do some testing/profiling to make sure
that we at best speed them up at worst don't make them any slower.
