Which is faster, rosetta-api or icrc1_balance_of?

Both rosetta-api and icrc1_balance_of can fetch ICP balances, which is faster, most timely and least resource intensive?

Rosetta is a centralized aggregator/mirror of a ledger. Therefore it usually is faster and uses less resources per request, but running a rosetta node incurs some extra cost compared to directly using the ledger
