[wp-hackers] new WP_Query vs. get_posts() - any difference?

[scribu]

On the performance part, it actually has a little overhead, since there's an
extra function call made.

Obviously, you should use get_posts() when you don't need all the extra
query info, just the post data, without having to do a SELECT manually. It's
just a convenience function.
