What way would be more efficient?

I really like to make my Addons as efficient as possible, performance wise (as much as possible with my knowledge of course XD)

So, a addon i created uses alot of networking, and from what i know its possible to make the lua files in 2 ways:

1:
One file in the client folder, and one file in the server folder, client file with the clientside networking, server file with the serverside networking.

2:
one file in the lua/autorun folder, no subfolder for client or server. The file gets executed on server AND client.
This file contains a if statement,

if SERVER then
--serverside network
else
--clientside network
end

And i just wondered what way would be more efficient? If even any difference..way 1 or 2?

You have to network either way. Option 2 doesnt execute on server and client because of the if statement.

Performance doesn't really play a factor in this case as they would be nearly equivalent, but the first way would be cleaner since your realm code is divided by file.

I know i have to network on either way? I never said it will work without networking that way.
