Ref Cursor Performance Question

Has anyone benchmarked the performance difference, if any, between regular cursors:

CURSOR xyz IS

   SELECT .... and ref cursors

OPEN ref_cursor FOR

   SELECT .... if your processing is entirely within a code block and not being used to return values to a front-end program.

If not ... I'll be doing it tomorrow.

Thanks,
