There is no performance difference. The main advantage is that you do not
dirty the public interfaces of your class. Also, if you have two interfaces
that have the same method signature and you want two different
implementations then you will have to use explicit implementation.
Also note that your code below will not compile. Use instead:
---->
void Foo.Bar() { /* implementatoin */ }
