R help - Jan 2010 - Retrieving data through bbg or excel, what is faster?

Hello, I need to retrieve datas from bloomberg.
I want to retrieve those datas in the fastest way as possible. I have two
options:
writing the datas from bbg to excel and reading from r the excel sheet or
directly
read the datas from from r with a Rbbg connection. Which connection is
faster? 
Thank you

Have you timed both solutions?  Are you asking us to do you
analysis/debugging?  It should be easy enough for you to setup a test
case and try it.  That is what I would have to do to answer your
question and I don't use bloomberg.
