Query on Efficient List Creation Method

I'm seeking advice on the quickest method for creating lists in Anaplan: using the UX Page "Form action" or the backend Actions for Creating List Item. Which approach is more efficient?

    There will be very little difference between the two, and the actual mechanism (within the Anaplan code) for creating a list item is the same either way. The performance of it will come down to how/where that list is used and what a change to that dimension represents in the model.
    If a user is entering data to create a list item, then a form is the more efficient way; an action would need to retrieve data from a view before adding a small additional step.
    But using an action could mean that you could batch up multiple user entries and add all items together in the one action; so that would be more efficient than multiple form entries.
