Are there any performance benefits of the Internal table in Delta Lake compared to External Table as in both cases the source files reside in Data Lake?

There should not be much difference between managed vs unmanaged tables. They differ only by the path (default storage location vs explicitly specified) and behavior on what happens when you drop table (drop data as well vs. dropping only table definition).
