catapult can be doted the following compilation options:

   --state-disk  (slower, requires less RAM memory, persistent)
   --state-ram   (faster, required more RAM memory, non-persistent)

non-persistent state include an eventual perforance penalty, which happens during the process initialization, where the absence of persistent data produces the need for reconstructing the state from the evidence source (blocks).

• blockchain. The state vector can be encoded in for of a singly linked list of evidences/transactions or state deltas.
• ram In-memory C++ Object.
