Description
**Question**
I have a question about performance.
I have a list of up to 50000 items.
The list is read a lot but nearly never written.
My question is:
Is there a performance difference if I save the list as one big list with one key and load it into memory before accessing it vs storing each item with a key and use the „get“ function?
I need to access the items by key only.
TLDR: how much slower are read operations if the box has a lot of keys compared to accessing the list from memory? Is it negligible?
What impacts performance of box reads in general?
