I'm using quicktabs to load bunch of views to tabs and subtabs, now the question is, should i rather make own view for each tab or just put the all in same view as displays?
Is there something to consider performance-vice?

Title: Multiple views vs multiple displays(speed) » Document FAQ about using views vs displays
Component: page displays » Documentation
Category: support » task

Displays should be grouped together if they are fundamentally similar and are sharing lots of data. Grouping displays together that are mostly overrides is not efficient; it is both difficult to maintain and does add an extra burden to the system. Displays must be processed even if they aren't run. Having a couple of extra displays on a view is not a significant extra burden. Having twenty would be.

Changing this to a documentation task, as this question is asked often and clearly we need to document this better so more people understand.

Ok thank you for clarification. It would be nice if documentation had some section for optimizing performance since usually views plays very big part in drupal sites.

Looks fine

I have stalled on committed this because it feels to me like we're not really offering much in these pages. I think they're helpful but it feels like if we offer this we should go another step and offer a little bit more?

When I install this patch, it's trying to add information to the top of views.help.ini, which is breaking advanced help.

Reassinging to myself to try on my new test environment, which should behave better.

Ok, the patch does work. It could likely use more fleshing out, but I think it's probably just as well to have *something* there instead of nothing :)
