Good day,
Is there a performance difference between, populating a gallery or repeater, using a query result through code; versus, populating a gallery or repeater, using a Dataset through the editor?
In theory, since you have more control over how the data is fetched, then yes code can be faster. However, it can also be slower. The key difference is that you know how to optimize queries and even use backend to deliver the data in the fastest, most reliable way possible.
This approach does require much more know-how and time than datasets, but it may make a world of difference in some cases.
Thank you.
