awn-xfce4 vs awn-bzr??

Could someone please explain to me the difference between awn-xfce4 and avant-window-navigator-bzr? <located in AUR

I understand BZR and such, mainly I am interested in knowing what the advantages of using awn-xfce4 ("avant-window-navigator compiled for Xfce4 Desktop") for users running xfce4, like myself.

Is there a speed/performance gain?

I think it mostly has to do with dependencies, stock AWN will probably use some (more) Gnome stuff.

Yeah. AWN is in an odd state. They have different branches/configs for different DEs, and an agnostic one that isn't ready for prime-time yet but I believe will be the future main release.
