I'm having trouble understanding the difference and the performance implications (especially in an app with a large amount of data in the frontend). Can anyone advise? Sorry if this isn't the right forum. Not sure where else to ask as this is an esoteric issue.

Sorry, but it's not the right forum. 🙂

I'd try StackOverflow!
