I've also seen Java code that recursively calls 1 row from database at a time, a million times per request with 5ms latency per row. It's possible to willingly abuse almost any system that a reasonable person would deem perfectly performant or safe for the purpose under default conditions.

The question should less be about whether it's possible to try to abuse the system and more what it looks like in a very reasonable everyday scenario.
