title: Performance difference between using neo4j REST API with and without cypher?
body: <p>From what I read here: <a href="http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/milestone/rest-api-cypher.html#rest-api-use-parameters" rel="nofollow">neo4j cypher rest api</a></p>
  
  <p>you can get a cypher speed up when using parameters wherever possible in order to let the server cache query plans.  </p>
  
  <p>So is there a speed up or performance gain when I use</p>
  
  <p>cypher with parameters on the rest api</p>
  
  <p>vs</p>
  
  <p>rest api without using cypher queries?</p>
  
  <p>Or in other words, if I have to use the neo4j rest api, would it be a good idea(performance wise) to only use the cypher queries portion with parameters vs the rest of the api</p>
