System load is way lower and execution time much higher. Is this a general or a specific question?

Hi Stefan, Thanks for the answer but can you explain little bit more technically about it? because I am still in a learning phase in Appian and also if someone ask me this question in interview then how should I answer it?

Hm ... key difference is that looping functions are just functions with a low execution overhead and memory footprint. MNI means to execute a node in a process multiple time which means that this node must go through the whole process execution mechanism. And this takes way more precious bytes and cpu cycles ;-)
