NPS does not mean everything, but it does not mean nothing either. typically,
NPS is a "design choice" of the programmer - smart but slow or less smart but
faster.
in DB, this tradeoff did not exist. they could make it both fast and smart.
besides, while a factor 2 in NPS may mean nothing (because it's a design issue),
and maybe even a factor 4 may mean nothing, i can't believe that a factor 50
means nothing! that program would have to be *really* dumb.
