Domas doesn't want a hit on the global user table for every page view, IIRC, no. However, there could be implementations that avoid that, perhaps using memcached, or just stupid denormalization to all the other databases (a button saying "change this preference on all my accounts and any new ones").
We already cache global user objects in memcached, and memcached hits are cheap, anyway (on the order of a few hundred us).
