Does asynchronous or synchronous mode synchronize faster to the mirror server?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I was reading for the SQL 2008 administrator certification and there is a question wither synhronous(high-safety) or asynchnronous(high-perform<wbr />ance) mirroring reflects changes to the mirror server instantly. I would think that asynchronous transfer would be the fastest, but the stated correct answer to the question says otherwise.

High-safety vs High-performance regarding instant reflection

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
