Well you could test using
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1530

Here is a simple test case:
:TIME 100 :call append('$', join(g:a))
Execution took 0.005195 sec. (count=100)
:TIME 100 :put =join(g:a)
Execution took 0.004757 sec. (count=100)
:TIME :exe 'norm o'.join(g:a)
Execution took 0.036771 sec. (count=100)

So :exe 'norm o' is one order of magnitude slower. But I am interested
in your timings.

Christian
