Hi, There is a difference in performance. The Announcement is slower (about 2-3x slower). However, for 1M events the difference is measured in a 200-400ms, which is very small.
The benefit of using Announcement is that we can reuse the tooling around Announcement, such as blogging and debugging. Still, the way it is used in Bloc is different from the typical usage in that Bloc registers to all Events (which are Announcements) and then dispatches through them to specific Element method (like BlEventListener>>clickEvent:). Still the cool thing is that you also can still register from the outside to a specific event using a normal when:do:. We will write a piece of doc about it.
