It's not about what is better to use, what he should worry about, or what he can or can not ask. He is asking what is faster, and the only one that gave a decent reply to his question is Riamus.
i feel that telling him which is faster without any more explanation would encourage him to ask more questions like this and intensify this poor way of thinking. speed could well be considered an important factor in certain circumstances, but certainly not here and i think he should first learn where it should be considered before worrying about it ;|
