Whats the difference $().click(fn) vs $().bind(‘click’,fn)

I was working on some event handling and I came across something that I was not quite sure of. What is the different between the 2 following pieces of code.

$('#abc').click(function(){ });

$('#abc').bind('click',function(){ });

I did some searching and came across this explanation on Stack Overflow. Basically the answer was look at the source, so I did. If you look at the source for jQuery you will see the following code.

jQuery.each( ("blur focus focusin focusout load resize scroll unload click dblclick " + "mousedown mouseup mousemove mouseover mouseout mouseenter mouseleave " + "change select submit keydown keypress keyup error").split(" "), function( i, name ) { // Handle event binding jQuery.fn[ name ] = function( data, fn ) { if ( fn == null ) { fn = data; data = null; } return arguments.length > 0 ? this.bind( name, data, fn ) : this.trigger( name ); }; if ( jQuery.attrFn ) { jQuery.attrFn[ name ] = true; } });

Basically for every one of those short hand event names, it is calling bind. So really there is no difference, so then I started asking myself, should I ever call the shorthand? I know there probably is not a huge difference but there has to be some performance benefit to using bind right? What do you guys think?
