The algorithm complexity is the same, although, it is true, a client may

Actually I think this problem would be better solved by a control to ask
the server to do the calculations for us (and IIRC there is a control
like that in the AD implementation called ASQ or something like that)
and use a cache, so we have both an efficient way to do it and avoid the
artificial distinction.
Server support would certainly be valuable in many cases and a control
sounds like a good way to ask for it. However, I think that is
orthogonal to the question of whether there should be two attributes.
