How fast does it take to receive your refund efiling vs. mailing it?

My taxes are done and I would simply like to mail it in, but if efiling will bring my return significantly sooner, I'll just do that.

Any ideas? :)

(I am only referring to federal.)

    The IRS says 90% of refunds coming from e-filed returns will be issued within 21 days. Mailed returns take 6-8 weeks.
