Laufzeitvorteil

Tech/Engineering
Computers: Software
Context: Allerdings benötigen die Infostrukturen dadurch auch mehr Speicherplatz in der Datenbank, was gegen den Laufzeitvorteil abzuwägen ist.
I'm not really sure how to translate 'Laufzeitvorteil' here. 'Runtime advantage' sounds very weird auf Englisch.

You're right, "run-time advantage" is pants!
".....which have to be weighed up against faster processing speeds" might be the best translation.

While I do not see anything wrong with 'runtime' either, you may wish to consider this alternative. It is a bit off the German, but in your context, I do not view it as incorrect.
