We need to be careful here to consider the code as well. I've run into a lot of situations where I need to go back to the database to pull more fields from a record that would have already been retrieved once, because the fields I needed weren't retrieved. I have to believe that its more effecient to get the fields the first time then going back for them again.
This where it would be good to have a consistent object model. Right now we do it with globals and session variables.
