Which is more efficient?

a) a sql loop where everything is displayed/formatted using echo stmts, 
like this:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE active=1");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
         echo "<TR><TD>$row->title </TD></TR>";
}
mysql_free_result($result);

?>


OR
b) a sql loop where you break in and out of php tags as needed:

<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE active=1");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
?>
<TR><TD>
         <?php echo "$row->title"; ?>
</TD></TR>

<?php
}
mysql_free_result($result);

?>


Obviously, these are really simplified examples.  Typically the html code 
gets much more complicated.
