Performance: Loading many (smaller) views Vs fewer (larger) views

[eluser]WanWizard[/eluser]
I find that the more I can break up an application into logical pieces, to easier it is to maintain.

If, during the lifespan of the application, this can save you one or two days of work, you've saved enough to buy a server with a slightly higher spec. Whichs negates the slightly slower application.

Experience shows that it saves a lot more than that, if we're talking about a reasonable size application...
