Workflow is not intended for this stuff, Data Warehouse Builder is.
Transformations is more InterConnect, quite fast for messaging, but
not something I'd recommend for maintaining a DW (in fact, I voted
against it in a situation where it was suggested). It will handle
a record (message) in about 5-10 ms, when all logging is switched off.
Default logging (and stats) are on, and shows 500-800ms

No. Workflow is just that - model workflows, decision points, start new processes, and stick data in yet another queue. Then wait for some other process to finish.
