[TYPO3-dev] The extbase dilemma

My experience with not so large dataset but "quite deeply nested" shows 
that you should not fear switching to direct DB access from time to time.

I'd like to add that the version shipped with 4.5 is really usable in 
production and if the bug I described recently with "wild" cache 
clearing is properly fixed, then Extbase is even sufficiently quick to 
make customers happy ;-)

Yes, that's good to read feedback.
