I was using and old example SQL stack... small data returns were fast,

Then I remembered "Dont' Do That!"

When I got all the data in a variable and just posted to the field once,
it was "like 20 times faster."

It seems in my initial tests that the time it takes to get data through the externals interface is much long than what it takes to move data around within Rev natively.

Is this a known limitation of externals, or is this just a case of false attribution of the root cause on my part?
