Mixed engines within same database

Hi *

is it the right observation? - when I created 2 tables in same db, one in InnoDB, the other in MyISAM, with bin-logs turned on, I've noticed that operations on data were logged for both of them. How come?
It also leverages recovery, I would say in a positive way, because I'm able to restore all tables.
The drawback however is the poorer performance of MyISAM that is meant to be fast due to less I/O operations, yet in this case it is not as it has additional writes to bin-logs just as the InnoDB table.

What's your opinion on it? Is it good to mix engines in one db? What is best practice in such cases?
