Position of arguments in function definition and performance

[José Romildo Malaquias]

Hello.

Please, tell me which set of definitions below should I expected
to be more efficient: the reverse1 or the reverse2 functions.

reverse1 []     ys = ys
reverse1 (x:xs) ys = reverse2 (x:ys) xs

reverse2 ys []     = ys
reverse2 ys (x:xs) = reverse2 (x:ys) xs

The difference rely on the position of the argument in which the
pattern matching is done in the function definition.

Regards.

Romildo
