API workflows are a little slower to get through, but they are more scalable and reliable for large lists… if you have a change list of things operating on too big a list, it might time out / fail to finish and break the workflow.”

So some overall guidelines. Note that these kinds of guidelines definitely have a sell-by date, since we’re always trying to optimize slow stuff, but here are some of the big performance levers: The more data a search fetches, the longer it takes. That probably sounds pretty basic, but we routinely see pages that fetch thousands of data items on page load. Or, we sometimes see searches that only fetch a few things – but each thing has KBs or MBs of text data stored in its field. Bubble …
