NRPE - daemon versus xinetd - pros and cons

I am interested in hearing from anyone who has insight
on to whether running the daemon is more efficient
than xinetd for nagios (I mean real difference not
minor overhead differences);  Is there more security
with xinetd and wrappers in this case?  Anyone who has
tried both, I would be interested in your feedback.  I
have been using xinted/inetd without real problems
(some nrpe timeouts), but there are people who want to
use the daemon option.  I can do this, but hate to
start if it will not improve the overhead or security.

Cheers,

Richard
