First came across this on a programming Q/A website here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6449 … -my-system . Quoting portion since it is likely to get edited and corrected.
My application is joint at the hip with the facebook application. I show the user’s photo and their friends from facebook. I am debating between storing the user (and their friends) photo on my system. What is better for the system performance? Is it to store the photos in my system or retrieve them facebook at run-time.
