Enhanced Compute Engine Dataflow Icons
Is anybody able to explain why the icons for entities within the dataflow are different to one another once the enhanced compute engine is turned on? There appears to be no pattern to why some are showing as tables and others views.

When creating dataflows, you may be tempted to create a single dataflow with all entities, transformations, joins, and enhancements in one place. For smaller datasets a single dataflow may be effective. But when dealing with larger data volumes, performing joins or certain transformations can sometimes experience throttle or memory limits. To address those issues, an enhanced engine has been released for Power BI Premium users that scales to much larger data volumes. The enhanced compute engine works against linked or computed entities only, so creating a separate dataflow for ingestion and a linked dataflow to perform all the complex merges and transformations can benefit from the enhanced engine.
