Benoit Chesneau commented on COUCHDB-1931:
------------------------------------------
Experience? You mean the performance issue? Again I don't see why it should be
a reason against their use. It's more an issue that we should solve.
Also we have the same performance issue when indexing the views. Should we
deprecate them? Or rather solve the performance issue? And this performance
issue is more problematic for the views since while lists are handled in //,
view indexation is serialised.

> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Benoit Chesneau

> The doc says for the shows:
> {quote}
> Show functions are used to represent documents in various formats, commonly
> as HTML page with nicer formatting. They can also be used to run server-side
> functions without requiring a pre-existing document.
> {quote}
> and later for the lists:
> {quote}
> While Show functions are used to customize document presentation, List
> functions are used for same purpose, but against View functions results.
> {quote}
> We shouldn't speak of rendering or not only. Shows are about transforming the
> results depending on the parameters you pass on the URL. Rendering is just
> one of the possibilities due to the ability of transforming and editing the
> result(s).
> We should make it more clear.
