title: How much more inefficient are text (blobs) than varchar/nvarchar's?
body: <p>We're doing a lot of large, but straightforward forms for a fairly big project (about 600 users using it throughout the day - that's big for me at least ;-) ).</p>
  
  <p>The forms have a lot of question/answer type sections, so it's natural for some people to type a sentence, while others type a novel.  <strong>How beneficial would it be to put a character limit on some of these fields <em>really</em>?</strong></p>
