If you would have the opportunity to build new application , do you think that the best thing would be is to make it 100% generic ?

Usually generic costs at law performance.
For instance , when you build stored procedure , every OR clause you will add will increase the execution time (too many left joins etc ) .
In the code try to take under consideration the amount of data you wanna draw and how many objects you put in the cache.
of course , there are more parameters you need to take under consideration . but I think that you should  aspire to build your application as a generic system to save duplicate work but not at all costs .

Generic application framework is a MUST to my opnion.
Performance is only a secondary parameter as most (if not all) performance issues can be solved on the hardware level.
The best advantage of using generic application framework is the fact that it gives a common language between programmers s long as theyr'e beyond some kind of minimum level of expirence.
The other advantages and disadvantages are clear enough to everyone I believe.

I agree that it is a must but from my experience some times in real time it costs too much and if we are talking about tables with million rows + it makes you think twice.
My suggestion is to built generic system but always give an option to customize the code or SP .
