Use High-Level Controller (HLC) when possible. The HLC can read/write up to 8 bytes and is completely optional. The most important difference of the HLC is that it only requires one interrupt for a transfer (up to 8 bytes) where the low-level read/write requires 2 interrupts plus one interrupt per transferred byte. Since the interrupts are costly using the HLC improves the performance. Also, the HLC provides improved error handling.
