This depends on how many vhosts we are talking about. For a reasonable number (say, in the dozens), there should be essentially no difference between the two configurations. For a very large number of vhosts, the size of the configuration file can sometimes balloon. Although it still won't have much of an effect on processing time, it can affect memory usage. That is why there are various mass-virtual-hosting options to handle hundreds or thousands of vhosts without having a separate config section for each.
