Large photodiode capacitance


I'm working with an avalanche photodiode with a 320 pF capacitance. What exactly are the downsides of suc a photodiode with large capacitance values? I assume they would be slower due to the narrower bandwidth, but in an application where speed is not so relevant (up to my knowledge, anything apart from optical communication), are there any other performance issues related with a large capacitance?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
