[PD] difference send and using msg with ";"

[Miller Puckette]

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.

cheers
Miller
