Datatables javascript vs ajax sourced data - performance

Generally speaking, with DataTables is there any performance improvement to be had from using an ajax source compared with a javascript source?
For example if you have 1000 rows with 20 columns, with a few of the columns rendered as inputs, is loading / rendering faster with an ajax source? Similarly, do the extensions perform better, say colReorder or Autofill? Is memory more of an issue with a javascript source?

    ajax source compared with a javascript source?

    No. For all intents and purposes they are the same performance-wise. The only difference is that the Ajax source is loaded by DataTables, while the Javascript sourced data is loaded by yourself (possibly by Ajax, possibly some other way).
