Re: [support] views' block or custom block ?

In a performance context, custom module block will be the best solution as per my understanding. Because you are not storing your block code in the database in that case. It is always good not to store code in the database so if you are creating a view [which is easy to implement but not recommended for performance point of view] then it will store the code in the database.

That is a SWAG if I ever heard one. The chances of the view being slower than code stored in a file on disk is plus or minus 50 percent. The extra hit on the DB for the view is minimized because of caching.
