Hi All,
Just wanted to check, we have a very lengthy Flow. We are revamping the flow in to small subflows. Will the back and forth of flow and subflow make the flow execution time slower?

Hi @Supriya39 ,
It is possible that breaking a lengthy flow into smaller subflows could increase the overall execution time of the flow, but this would depend on the specifics of the flow and the subflows.
In general, breaking a large flow into smaller subflows can help simplify the design and make it easier to manage and maintain the flow. However, there may be additional overhead involved in passing data back and forth between the main flow and the subflows. This overhead could include things like serialization and deserialization of data, network traffic, and additional processing time.
That being said, the impact of this overhead on the overall execution time of the flow will depend on a variety of factors, including the size and complexity of the data being passed between the main flow and the subflows, the number of subflows, and the efficiency of the flow design and implementation.
In practice, the best way to determine the impact of breaking a flow into subflows on its execution time is to measure and compare the execution times of the original flow and the refactored flow with subflows. You can use tools like performance profiling to identify any performance bottlenecks and optimize the flow design and implementation accordingly.
