I'm in agreement in that I suspect there won't be much difference but haven't tested it in a very long time.

SELECTing is not going to be faster no matter what tool you use. And writing isn't going to be faster either. So where is the speed difference from C or perl? Formatting perhaps.

I'd be interested in why/how pipes would be affected by an auditing requirement.
