What is diff b/w scheduleAtFixedRate and schedule:

Question

which is more efficient in j2me:

public void schedule(TimerTask task, Date firstTime, long period)

public void scheduleAtFixedRate(TimerTask task, long delay, long period)

what i understand is scheduleAtFixedRate used for long delay and schedule for short delay.

scheduleAtFixedRate will not see that previous task completed or not , it will start next task at fixed time.

any more diff... plz help.
