Subject: Lame question about instance variable and attribute

Assuming an attribute :field is defined, is there a processing
difference between using @field and self.field [within the defining
class?]  Does the ruby interpretter take a different path in yielding
the value depending how it is referenced?  I haven't notice anything.
I'm just curious if the interpretter takes extra steps when yielding
self.field.

Thanks
