6MB in Reference Data: OK for Lookup Or go for a JOIN

Hi,
I'm evaluating a job for optimization/performance etc, and I see that there's a JOIN being used. One of the reference file can be upto 6MB. Is it advisable to go for LOOKUP in place of this JOIN ?
Thanks

It appears to me that the change data capture stage does everything that compare and difference do so I have always used change data capture. Am I missing something? I hate it when I am missing something... Yes Change ...

This seemed to translate into long wait times for t...
