It's not faster, but it is a better practice. It is also particularly helpful for avoiding certain types of common attacks, because it allows (forces, actually) you to keep up with the exact origin of data. This is also important in adhering to the HTTP specification which states that GET requests should not perform any action other than retrieval. Hope that helps.
