putting stupid search engine urls back

[AMP Admin]

Hi again Gabriel,

Thank you for your reply.

I think SEF URL's are debatable.  The more research I do the more I find
them unnecessary.  It also makes it difficult for growth.  What if you
change your cms, forum or whatever and the dynamic content is generated
differently?  All of your "static lookalike" links are no longer valid.  I
also believe this to be true with major revisions of current cms, forums and
other.  If they do a complete code rewrite as many of them claim with major
revisions then that might also affect urls too.  Eventually you have more
lines of rewrites and garbage in your config than anything else which is not
the intended use.  It may not strain the server but every little bit of
helps and if someone thinks they can just let that go then	 where does
it stop?

Anyway, here's an old article that's worth a read in regards to the great
sef debate. http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2005/4/emw232456.htm

Finally, that brings me back to my original question...
Finally, that brings me to my original question...
How can I turn:

You really shouldn't have to use redirects, I would think. A rewrite
(mod rewrite in apache, I think nginx supports similar), will allow
people to directly access the friendly urls while your application
internally receives a request for the ?something=something urls. If
rewrites are using up so much cpu that you'd rather not have search
engine traffic than have to take the cpu hit to rewrite urls....
something is seriously wrong.
