So, the big difference there is that by using 'content', the file contents are shipped down to the agent as part of the catalog. With 'source', the agent will have to make a new HTTP request per file to get the content when it attempts to manage the resource. You end up saving a potentially large number of HTTP round-trips, which adds up. -- Jacob Helwig
