I know there is a ton of other upside to it, but seeing as we support the project by offering hosting services - I am really concerned with speed and performance. I've been running some tests on an ORM test bench I made (SubSonic, LightSpeed, NHibernate, Entity Framework, Ling 2 Sql, My Project, and SqlClient parameterized query as a baseline), it's far from scientific, but I am still working through some things. At any rate, since dC 3.0 was a complete re-write, it was a 1.0 in certain respects and I want to get some cleaner boundaries, a good API, and some more loose coupling via DI/IoC.

Best of luck though! Personally, I've been investigating Entity Framework, Linq to SQL, and most recently NHibernate for use in a new software development project. I'm really working on making the shift to domain driven design and test driven development at the same time, so its a lot of work. I'd be intersted to see which implementation you end up choosing for DashCommerce. A good query language is obviously important, as well as a mature ORM codebase, and persistance ignorance. These considerations have led us to the decision to use NHibernate for our project. I really hope that you make the right choice for DashCommerce. I'm thinking of using the product, and potentially contributing some pieces of code to it the future. Having a nice ORM to work with, and a clear seperation of concerns would be great.
