Fat Models vs. App Controller

Hi everyone,

Just wondering when it comes to performance and any other factors you
may deem important, what's the better option for storing functions
that I will use among many controllers: A function in the model that I
can then access via $this->Model->Model->function() or a function
inside of my App Controller?

Moreover, when is it better to put a function in a model and when is
it better to put it in the app controller?

To put this in context, I'm investigating this for use with an
activities feature. I track activities and then display them in feeds.
Of course, I need to quite often save an activity, feeding it
arguments (as well as delete an activity). Moreover, I need to often
grab a feed, customized based on the arguments I feed it. I'm trying
to avoid using RequestAction.

Thanks!

Eric
