title: Performance difference between plain HTML and Rails/ERB helper templates
body: <p>I am new to rails and trying to understand this concept, as there are many things which we write using helpers(erb/rails tags) can also be written using simple plain html , is there any other advantage to using rails/erb helper than enabling to write more simple and readable code. </p>
  
  <p>As the end result of writing the erb/rails template is always going to be a plain html , so initially by writing plain html do we reduce load on server or reduce servers efforts of converting the rails/erb templates into plain html.</p>
  
  <p>Note: I am specifically asking for more of static templates e.g web forms , links , form contents,etc.</p>
