When talking about performance one can usually only speak in terms of trends and generalities unless you get very specific about the details of the environment in which the performance is to be evaluated. At the same time, you must also get very specific about the data being used. As already mentioned there is a wealth of information on this topic and I think in general terms it can be safely said that FASTLOAD will tend to out perform MULTILOAD, all else being equal. If you need a specific answer to your question I think you will need to perform the test.

MULTILOAD affords for capabilities not supported by FASTLOAD. If the performance variance (if any) is not a differentiating factor and your current or projected feature requirements do not make one the clear choice, then the choice is subjective in my view.....
