I'm looking to process some data from a specific set of traps upon reception
and wanted the learned opinions of 
the list of which method is the least resource intensive.

Method 1: Program in automatic actions directly into the trap definitions

Method 2: Set up a ruleset (ESE.automation) to do the work.

Does either technique have an advantage in resources used, maintainability,
etc....??

I would definitely like to stay away from external trapd.log processing
because it'll involve working around the 
automatic log snap features...
