The result's on the leftside are from a Module calling a Template, on the rightside it's a Module calling a Module function.

		+	Test of Template that calls either a Template or a Module function to get the honor landing page. In both cases the code was started on a user sandbox page -> with honorname as argument. The result's on the leftside are from a Template call, on the rightside it's a Module call.

		+
		+	As these test result's show, inside of a Lua Module, it is best to stick with Lua only and call as less Template's as possible. It need's more resources and a little bit more time.
		+	For the Template side it is a bit more difficult. Primarily, if it is about time (speed), calling a Template is way faster than calling a Lua Module, BUT the Lua Module need's less resources as you can see at the '''node count''', the '''post-expand include size''' and the '''hightes expansion depth'''.
		+	For the test a really simple [[Template:GetHonorLandingPage\|Template]] was used, so for complex templates it may differ and probably be better to do it in Lua.
