Agreed... Mongo also works well for denormalizing data structures into something that renders faster to the browser. A single key/document->json->get->parse-> render is much faster than a query across many joins and/or sub-queries.

As an aside, if you're doing it anyway, it's also a good point to dump to .json.gz in S3 (or similar) as a secondary backup system.
