Thanks for that!
SP is probably faster for direct queries.
My strong suspicion is that SP may be *slower* on updates in certain cases- because you either need heaps of preparation code at the client + management code at the server for partial updates, or you need to pass all fields back in an update and have them all updated.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
