From looking further into ADODB, it appears that the performance hit from using it could be significant for projects like Wikipedia (14% or so from the statistics on the ADODB site).
14% over what? For trivial queries that take 0.1ms to execute anyway? Not for long complicated ones, I bet. And I'm awfully sure it's not 14% for all of MediaWiki, including the parser and all. I doubt it has more overhead than our current solution -- probably much less, since it does much less. But the overhead is going to be negligible if you run a sane number of queries per request, unless this has way more features than I think.
