We are still suffering from the effects of a developer who employed #1 throughout the codebase. We have both Object and Collection, and bypassing his classes results in reduuced memory usage by a factor of 10 and improved performance by a factor of 100. Unforunately he also employed #7 so it's very tricky to bypass that in some places without doing a major rewrite...
