If the server name use is @@servername, SQL Server will shortcut, and
there is no overhead.
But if the linked server is defined a true loopback, so that there is a
new connection made, there is obviously an overhead, as data is first
passed to SQL Server, to the OLE DB provider on one connection, and then
the OLE DB provider passes the data back to another connection.
