How to make a lot of API Calls efficiently from a Transform in Foundry?

I need to perform API Call from a transform (e.g. an External Transform).
I’m not sure what to use: Spark-based transforms or lightweight
But I’m also not sure which approach to take: Threadpool, Processpool, parallelisation via rdd.mapPartition or rdd.map or UDFs (different types of UDFs as well exist, …)

Is there any benchmark or example of very fast processing of API calls from Spark/transforms context around ?
