Definitely. I'd think that as MySQL wasn't born for this, it has to be somewhat slower..?

The interesting thing in my opinion is however that you don't have to mess with server stuff, you just include a PHP file and you're good to go.

I don't notice any difference. Is it just me..?

From the graphic, at least, it just looks like they've added TouchID sensors to the Home button.

Cool one, great find!
