I've never profiled it, but I think for a single number, using a "send" object is more efficient, but for anything else (like if you have to use a message box anyway to format the message or if you're sending more than one) the message box wins.
Hm, but isn't that an unfair comparison? Just for sending stuff, I've found that [send] is way faster than a message box, regardless if I'm sending a number only or longer lists. ([s] is almost twice as fast in the little benchmark I posted.)
If one also does some formatting operations, then that's something, a pure [send] cannot do, no fair benchmark comparison could be made between a [send] and a message alone, as the [send] would need an additional msg-box.
