It was the simpler queries I was thinking of and the overhead in the
planning(preparing) stage compared with fetching the results rather than any
complexity around them For example fetching session data using a session_id
on a web server which is done many times over..

Although i'm not sure how much overhead there is in the planning stages
compared with actually fetching the data and if the tradeoff of complexity
is worth it...
