What are the pros and cons of using absolute versus relative coordinates?

OpenGL FAQ / 9 Transformations
Some OpenGL applications may need to render the same object in multiple locations in a single scene. OpenGL lets you do this two ways: Use “absolute coordinates". Maintain multiple copies of each object, each with its own unique set of vertices. You don't need to change the ModelView matrix to render the object at the desired location. Use “relative coordinates".

Is it faster to use absolute coordinates or to use relative coordinates?

OpenGL FAQ / 22 Performance
By using absolute (or “world”) coordinates, your application doesn't have to change the ModelView matrix as often. By using relative (or “object”) coordinates, you can cut down on data storage of redundant primitives or geometry. A good analogy is an architectural software package that models a hotel. The hotel model has hundreds of thousands of rooms, most of which are identical.
