DataSet vs Custom Business Objects from performance perspective

[Maxwell2006]

Hi,

Is there any article that compares the performance difference between using
DataSet and custom business objects?

We are developing a high traffic web site and we are thinking to avoid using
dataset because of performance overhead. We need some whitepapers or
articles to support that.

Any help would be appreciated,
Max

I wouldn't rule out one option before doing some testing specific to
your environment. My experience has been that DataSets can perform
even in high traffic web sites. There are definitely cases where avoid
a DataSet is desirable, but those tend to be environment specific (not
generalizations).

Here's one article comparing the two:
