Handwritten or Typing - Which is faster?

If you had to copy down a written passage from a hard copy (book, paper etc), which would get it done faster, handwrite or type (by computer)?

Assume that if you were to handwrite it, it has to be somewhat legible that sort of thing, the same quality u would had to write if this was an exam.

handwriting is faster, because when typing, the hand has the bad habit of pressing ALT+TABs until firefox gets in the foreground
