If we use the PEAR standards, then phpWS doesn't need to worry about 
supporting things, the PEAR team will have done all that legwork, and I'm 
confident that the PEAR team will have done it the most efficient way 
possible.

Even if phpWS only wanted to support two or three, once you support more 
than one you might as well use PEAR and support them all, rather than 
write the functions yourself.

I'd be interested in seeing some benchmarks about how the pear DB layer 
affects performance.  I don't think the hit would be that bad.  What is 
the largest scale site running phpWS, btw?
