The only times an area server has to read or write to the character DB is when you save/load your game. During your game session, your savestate is being updated periodically in case you disconnect or crash. This updating taking a few more milliseconds doesn't change anything.

Otherwise, everything happens regionally, so yes, it has a benefit you refuse to see. Prove me wrong.
