Agreed! Most of this advice isn't that useful and in all honesty can be bad advice for many sites. Really "fast websites" use external caching to not hit the database at all.

The post wasn't about anything but the DB layer. I cache everything, but still when you hit the DB layer, you want it to return instantly if at all possible. I said specifically at the very top this wasn't a tuning or scaling guide.
