Does anyone have a opinion which provides better performance: Creating a View and using a page type display; or Creating a Page and having a view created Block display only show on that page?
The reason I ask: I have View created Landing pages (Teaser list) for site sections, but other View created pages (say a list of users or teams) cannot be part of these landing pages (as far as I know).
So would it make more sense to create a Page (with a teaser), then have that View block show on that Page? Is there any huge performance hit to doing a bunch of these?
Or...?
Thanks,
Mark

they are equal
Performance wise, I doubt you would see much of a difference. I would bet authenticated vs non-authenticated traffic would make more of an impact.
If you really want to find out what the difference is, build both and then use the 'ab' (apache bench) tool available on most unix based platforms to test specific url performance.
Overall, if you have most of the standard performance tuning options already enabled, you will be fine for a site that gets many thousands hits/day.
