i hadn't really thought about it specifically, but now that you ask, i'd say
processing or maybe even latency. this is a web based program written in
php. in an earlier prototype of this app, i had one page that took a long
time to load. that turned out to be a mysql problem. i fixed it by adding a
new index.

so, would any particular approach add an extra amount of processing or
latency?
