Yes.

Latency will be induced regardless, either on backend or by client
following associations :-(.  But is it wise to induce latency on the
backend, where all users are affected?  Is the latency increase on
backend small compared to client following associations?

I guess my question should really be directed at SVPC.  Client
developers assume they can get resource pool from PoolID.  Generally I
think the CIM model advocates associations to describe such
relationships.  But RAP is not clear on this.
