Controller methodology question

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]

Code:

Hello everyone!

I’m new to CI but I feel I understand the MVC methodology well enough to be dangerous.  

My question relates to the trade-offs (if any), or best practices when establishing controllers.  For instance, is it “better” to have one controller per view (page) or to lump many views into a master/main controller for the site?

I’m curious if there’s a performance tradeoff or perhaps some long-term maintenance issues that I should consider.

Any advice you care to offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
