There were times that the gui even appeared to run faster. If you are on a really busy machine or older and slower system, the gui may place a larger burden on the system. If you want to see how much data was transfered, I found the gui provided that and the command line version didn't. I have a shell alias that will fire either off. I usually telnet to my server and don't use the gui version at all then. I only walk down to the server when it time to boot to single user mode and do the installworld sequence. If you are going to see 100's of changes, the scrollback buffer on the gui will probably be penalized and your tee and log file will have the advantage.
