Question about timings

Hello,

I'm doing a school project on port mapping (why not?), and I was looking 
at the timings for different scans.  I noticed that a SYN scan (-sS) 
takes a little bit more time than a Connect scan (-sT).  Does anybody 
know why?  I figured that -sS would be faster because it uses less 
packets, but apparently that's not the case.

Thanks
Ron
