Not calling this dishonest, because it's a fine way to give a guarantee to people who'd don't think much about performance. However, it's one of those claims that I suspect sounds more impressive than it is, depending on how you read it. Unless your system is stupidly simple or has had significant attention paid to performance, there's a good chance your worst page is spending most of its time in some awful O(n^2) algorithm, and will be an easy fix.

"No, I ask it for the experience of a lifetime." That seems an apt summary of the message of this legend." http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/where.asp http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/where.asp
