why are custom properties so fast?

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Maybe we should make a machine benchmark stack to test
all the rev features across all platforms and cpu configurations...

Another use for an sql engine maybe (although Im working on an
alternative and this Sarah's benchmark may change lots of my 
plans - for the better of performance naturally. 

One issue that seems evident now is that if we store styled text in 
a field and need to save that to a custom prop, there's 1) loss of
data possible (the rev-html converter - or rather stripper), 2) the
overhead of saving extra style tags...

Just a thought....

cheers
Xavier
