 You've already been beaten to that actually! ;)

 > The performance reasons are verbose rewrite rules which are triggered
 when WordPress is required (in the most simple form) to differentiate
 between pages and categories.
 I'll be honest and say I can *slightly* see how that might cause a
 problem, but then with my talk of the 'placeholder' I think that'd solve
 the problem, as you could state a page couldn't be created using the same
 slug that was used with? ''(I'm looking, or rather thinking, of a way to
 solve the issue!)''

 > About a year ago there was an extensive discussion on wp-hackers about
 this. I suggest reading through http://comox.textdrive.com/pipermail/wp-
 testers/2009-January/011097.html. This also came up on wp-hackers in the
 last few days. If you want the full explanation of the problem, that
 thread pretty much covers it.
 I shall have a read through that now, and see what was said! :)

 > There have been discussions on ways to make improvements to verbose
 rewrite rule handling but they need to be handled at the rewrite level.
 One option is to use verbose rules for categories, for example, if the
 number of pages outnumber the number of categories.
 Think I follow?
