Performance of outer join

Hello,

        Is outer join slower than the inner join in Oracle? And Why?

        Which one is faster?
1

	select b.field1, a.field2
	from table1 a, table2 b
	where a.field1(+) = b.field1

2
	select b.field1, a.field2
	from table1 a, table2 b
	where a.field1 = b.field1

	Thanks
