Thonny vs Terminal

I have a project with a Pi Zero that checks the status of a couple GPIO pins every 5 minutes. So most of the time the system is idle. Is there any benefit running the program from Thonny vs Terminal?

Quite the opposite I would think... most people dont run their programs from the development environment.

That is what I was wondering is if either environment had an advantage over the other for running the finished code.

No. Running the IDE will use extra resources (extra memory mostly) to no purpose.
Furthermore its harder to run the program, you have to start thonny first.
