Client side javascript vs Embedded script in server control.

The question makes no sense practically.

If you compare performance if the same script (but how can it be the same?) on client and server side, their performance characteristics (say, measured in pure CPU ticks) do not say much about the total throughput of the whole system with all the clients and will depend on current situation and various factors, first of all, on the activity of the client.

In particular, one important factor is that the server host is normally much more busy serving clients than any of the clients machine. That said, removing part of the workload from server part and adding some workload to the client is much more effective than optimizing of the client part scripting, even if the client processing is much less efficient.

In many cases, the choice to do certain processing on the server is defined not by performance, but some important factors of functionality such as safety or high availability.

Hi,
I think that you are comparing two things that are equal, because embeded javasripts in server controls are eventully executed on client when server process control and result with renderd html/javascript is sent as response to the client (browser).
