Can't really prove it but i think eID is more efficient. With an 
eID-script you can care for just a particalurar functionality and 
streamline the script to that while with the TSFE you load a lot of - in 
this context - needless functionality. Extensions should imho not use 
the page-approach because it messes with other TS-stuff.

What i'm really missing in TYPO3 is the possibility to switch out the 
layout on demand in an efficient way 
(http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/twoStepView.html). I think that it's 
quite important that the controller logic is reusable in different 
contexts like HTML, XML, JSON, AMF, SOAP etc. without special 
configurations.

Cheers,
Christian
