Answer 1

As you I was wondering the same and made a similar test as @evilReiko did:

In order to render a page containing a table with 1000000000 of records I found the following results:

• static html file : file size 32MB, page loading time 2.8 Min
• static html file with minified content: file size 12MB, page loading time 1.3 Min
• dynamic html file generated by JS: file size 612 byte (+ 713 byte of JS), page loading time 10.09 seconds...
