ArcObjects: Is buffering a point faster than buffering a line / polyline?

I can write my code logic to either buffer a polyline or to buffer the to and from point of the polyline. Working with the points will be easier, so it is the preferred way.

Logically my reasoning tells me that buffering a point will be faster as it will always be a perfect circle. But will buffering 2 points still be faster than buffering 1 polyline? My gut says yes.

Any comments?

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language.
