I am currently in a discussion with another programmer about coding style,
with each of us
having different opinions.

Normally when I am referencing either an IBOQuery or a IB_Query I reference
with:
query.fieldbyname('fieldname').AsString.....
My compatriot seems to prefer:
query.Fields.FieldByName('fieldname').AsString...

My question is, which method is more efficient in terms of runtime execution
speed?
Is the extra typing worth it?

Just trying to settle a friendly difference of opinion.
