I was looking for a post from unRuleY which had more detail, but couldn't find it. I believe IP::addr does a more efficient byte comparison than you could do with a string comparison. And as Michael points out, IP::addr allows you to do CIDR comparisons that you couldn't easily do with string operations.

Most of my comparisons are comparing client_addr or server_addr to address-type datagroups which contain both networks and hosts...is there any benefit to using [IP::addr[IP::server_addr]] or should I just save myself the characters?
