Should BlobAssetReference be used to store all immutable data?

Are there any performance advantages for using BlobAssetReference to store all data that's immutable, or should they only be used to store immutable, unique data (like via AddUniqueBlobAsset)? How does the size of the data affect if BAR should be used?

 

BlobAssets reduce the number of copies of the blob data in memory, replacing the copies with 8 byte pointers. But the blob assets are no longer laid out linearly in memory, so if every entity has a unique instance, you are just adding cache misses.

 

Thanks, so only use BAR for their memory-reducing capabilities

 

There are other use cases, one is de-serialization.
