Does it take longer for data to be transferred if there's more data?
There's many ways of getting table data, but would it take longer if the data being transferred via module scripts or remote events/functions is bigger? This is because I need data to be transferred as quickly as possible and I don't know if I should create specific events to retrieve specific data thus creating more lines of script. Should I even be worrying about this if the different is very small? Thanks

I do not believe so, as table data is infinite to indexes, some of my datastores for example, I index to the player's UserId, Table data simply has as many indexes from 0 to infinite and to infinite to 0, all the table is doing when you are getting the data is getting where the index is, and getting the value set it in, and all you are doing when setting the data, is setting the index that is already there(Potentially just nil) to a new value/variable.
So long as you aren't doing anything wrong when getting and setting table data, there will be no difference, and ALL data on ROBLOX servers lead back to a table one way or another if need be.
