Question from Playbook Optimization webinar: List lookup

Is a conditional list lookup always considered 'better' in terms of performance compared to loading a list into context or just when the list is very large?

The list can be directly referenced by its name i.e ${lists.list_name}, and used as an input in your conditional along with filters and transformers. There's no real benefit from copying the list into the context when there is a possibility to read the list directly in this way, irrespective of the size of the list
