refactoring models

I have the rails antipatterns book and I am doing some refactoring. Is there a big resource difference between a rails model backed with a db table and just a regular model other than the metaprogramming methods being defined for the rails model/table

Resource difference? You mean in terms of performance or something else? I'm not sure I get what you're asking...
