Hello, I was creating some template tiddlers when I suddenly discovered myself using <currentTiddler> a lot within list widgets.
This is what was natural for me at that moment, but I just remembered that I before I normally use the filter operator [is[current]] or [all[current]] and the doubt appeared. Which one has better performance? Using the <currentTiddler> variable or the [is[current]] filter operator. For me makes sense that just accessing a variable is much more performant than just filtering all the tiddlers to see which one is the current one. One usage example is as follows: <$list filter="[<currentTiddler>has[text]]"> Text if the field exists </$list> <$list filter="[<currentTiddler>!has[text]]"> Text if the field does not exist </$list> Maybe there are situations where you want to use the filter version instead of the variable, but since both depend on the value of the current tiddler variable, I can't think of any situation like this. Any reasoning about this is very welcome. If currentTiddler is more performant for this base cases, I think it should be included as some part of good practices or something like this.
