I don't think it would make much of a material difference to
performance wherever you place it.  More to the point is cleanliness
and correctness.  Code in Views/Templates should be strictly related
to formatting and display.  Code in a controller handles core logic,
and shouldn't know or do anything specific related to formatting and
display.  Code that interacts with data sources directly goes in the
Model.  Clean lines of seperation between the M<->C<->V components is
important.
