I think connections are slightly faster, but that is negligible. the more important aspect is programming style/readability/layout/program flow, and in this respect connections are definitely preferable. with send/receive you end up with spaghetti code. Maybe when working with a lot of abstractions, it makes sense to use send/receive, just because drawing too many connections is a pain. but most of the time connections make your life easier. marius.
