I think that the most optimal option is the second, 5 controllers with 1 action in each. Think, one controller \> one action one controller \> one action \> one fail Greetings 2010/5/16 David Z.

Depending on the complexity of the associated routes that might make a small difference, but this really sounds like premature optimization to me. If you really must know, benchmark it. Fred ---

I think, make code more readable, understanndable, and your api more near to rest. Because when u thinking about 0.00034 ms, u make stupid decision Sent from my iPhone On 16.05.2010, at 4:04, Iván Hernández Cazorla \
