GL_POINTS or quads fastest?

I'm working on a drawing app where there's a lot of textured points.

Just wondering if there's a speed difference between the two (i tried both and couldn't tell)

Thanks

At least in theory, GL_POINTS should be the faster, simply since it's only one (x, y, z) triplet per rendered point, whereas for a quad you need to transfer four.
