- When you choose to "Process a Model Client Side", Skuid does zero-parsing of a Model's XML on the server during initial page load --- rather, as soon as the page has done its initial bootstrap, Skuid will then parse the XML for the Model client-side and fetch necessary metadata / data from the server in a separate HTTP request. The end result Models should be identical, having the same metadata and data whether the Model was processed server-side on initial page load or processed immediately after page load on the client. The difference is that the "process client side" Models will not "delay" the initial page load, nor will they be counted as part of the initial page HTTP GET request.
Will follow up with responses to 2-5 soon.
