title: What effect will denormalization have on queries, joins and response time?
body: <p>Before denormalizing, I'm wondering what effect this is going to have on the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Query response time </li>
  <li>Width of rows in the database </li>
  <li>Joins necessary for a result </li>
  <li>Number of queries necessary for requests to complete </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>It seems, if I am not mistaken, that all of these will be <strong>reduced</strong>?</p>
