Using it like that is asking for spaghetti code that's hard to maintain, scale, and train new developers on. I'd imagine it also adds overhead, though I don't know how much - my guess is negligible. OB can be a great tool, but it shouldn't be a hack to get around sloppy architecture. Just my 2 cents :) Chris.
