The incorrect/unqualified assertion that normalization hurts performance is becoming quite the meme. Stack Overflow addresses it at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/173726/when-and-why-are-database-joins-expensive/174047 I address it at length here - http://ramthemdown.wordpress.com/2008/11/21/denormalization-is-bad-umkay/

In general the article is a pretty good summary of this movement though.
