+### Using DotStars, why would I use the SPI method over the general purpose method?
+
+There are two [DotStar Methods](https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus/wiki/NeoPixelBus-object#dotstar-methods).  
+DotStarSpiMethod will use the available SPI library of Arduino to send the data.  Often this is tied to hardware with pin limitations but will you give better performance.  
+DotStarMethod will Bitbang the data stream on any given pin set.  Often this slower and is directly related to the speed of the MCU.  
+
+My suggestion is to start with DotStarMethod until you have your sketch working.  Then try the DotStarSpiMethod as you work on performance of your sketch.
+
+Here is some timing numbers I captured. They are taken from sending to a strip of 4 LEDs.  
+#### Esp8266  
+DotStarMethod = 520us  
+DotStarSpiMethod = 47us  
+Significant differences between the two. Obviously if you have SPI available for use, it would be good to use it.  
+
+#### Esp32  
+DotStarMethod = 62us  
+DotStarSpiMethod = 49us  
+Not a very significant difference.  But if you are updating a longer strip it might be worth using SPI.
