[quote author="rootman" date="1237575332"]In a View POV i would use the APPPATH approach. Why? Simple! Think about splitting the work in a Team, and you got someone doing all the VIEW work, he surely wants to split up his code without having to ask the php team all along if they could load another bunches of views ...
I just stumbled across this Problem aswell and I chose the APPPATH way.[/quote]
Actually, he wouldn't have to. You can load views inside the view files themselves, which is why I asked in the first place.
Both seemingly achieve the same goal, but I went the APPPATH route as well because I think it will keep the processing overhead low, especially on high traffic, low cache sites.
I don't think it would be possible for $this->load->view(); to be faster than include() or a variation thereof. Possibly more flexible (concerning passing data to another view), but not more efficient.
