Showing fields or content with Views - which is faster? Say I'm building a view that lists 30 nodes. My understanding is that using fields in the view is faster than content (teaser), because the latter would need to call node_load 30 times? At least, I think this was the case with D6.

I appreciate the performance of both options depends on number of fields and types of fields used (entity reference, dates etc add query overhead). But does anyone have a general steer on this?

Thanks
In D7 it is the same, because the node (or any other parent entity) needs to be loaded in order for a field to be displayed (that's how Field API works in D7).
