Template on the server?

If your lists are long enough, you probably want to split what you can actually display from the rest of the list, because even today updating the DOM with thousands of nodes is expensive. And doing seems to be easier and less chatty to do on the front-end I think.

Sure templates on the server are fine too I just mean that the comparison is more compelling when describing the things that prompt templates in the first place (whether on the server or frontend).
