mysql < vs source

Hiya

I just found that I can run
mysql db -e 'source exporteddbdata.sql'

The question I would like to ask is. Is there a speed difference between

mysql db < exporteddbdata.sql
and
mysql db -e 'source exporteddbdata.sql'
(using source)

Reason im asking is, I got a exported 5.4GB database file, and I need to
import it as quickly as possible.
When I initially testing it, is ran for 170m40.935s

Generally I just scp the files (learnt this from Mylvmbackup), but the
problem is, is that the source DB is Mysql 5.1 and the target is Mysql 5.0.

Thanks
Brent

I would guess that 95% of that time will be spent within the mysqld server
rather than the mysql client, and if there is a difference between your two
mysql commandlines it won't be noticed.
