title: In ASP MVC Div vs Partial View for portlets in a portal/dashboard. Which one is better performance
body: <p>We developed a dashboard, with partial views, and later advised to move to div's for performance.</p>
  
  <p>Question: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>If an ASP MVC dashboard containing widgets/portlets is constructed with Partial Views (for portlets) as opposed to Div's (for portlets), <strong>what would the performance impact be?</strong></li>
  </ol>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>i.e. <strong>is the entire page/are all widgets/partial</strong> views loaded and the
    entire page redrawn for every time a part/partial view is touched/interacted/updated</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I like partial views, for the way they're organized and reuse, is it possible to keep performance and still <strong>get use out of the partial view design for the widgets/portlets</strong></li>
  </ol>
