[OpenLayers-Users] reprojecting issues

Reprojecting your data on the fly, will always have a performance cost. 
The cost is usually not much unless you're servicing a large volume of 
requests.

For best performance, store your data in the same SRS as it will be 
requested. Better to reproject once and forever, than with every single 
request.
