To be honest, only one advantage was pointed, performance. I'm copying the
e-mail that was sent to this list about this issue.

For the other side, there is two disvantages:
1. Can't control the number of process forked by minute, in inetd.conf is

2. Can't use access list to control who can use service pop3, in inetd.conf
is possible to use tcp wrapper.
