(See the best response by Nadrew.)
1.) How much faster is the internal command .winset than the proc winset() ?

2.) Also, I understand .winset is client-side and can still be used once the client has disconnected, but how would you practically use it to replace the winset() proc?

One is handled by the server (as in, it sends the info to the server then back to the client, then the client updates), one is handled entirely by the client without talking to the server.

.winset is a ton faster, but it's a little more of a pain in the butt to use and there's no way to know if it was successful or not.

In response to Nadrew
Would using browse() to call .winset through javascript work?

var js = {"
$(function() {window.location = "byond://winset";});
"}

Yep, that's one of the main uses of it.
