The main difference between both variants is that in path expressions getValue can be either an attribute or a method...so at least path expressions may have some overhead...you have to measure it.
As far as I know path expressions have better performance. I don't have the in-depth expression engine knowledge to explain why, but that's been what everyone has said to me before.

Could it be that, using a Python expression, I have an overhead because Zope loads a Python interpreter each time it finds a "python:"? If this is true then it is better to use path expression, if possible. claudio :-)
