Which is fastest LEFT JOIN or subselects

Which is fastest?

This:
SELECT id, title FROM questions LEFT JOIN users USING (userid) WHERE
zipcode = 2000;

or this:
SELECT id, title FROM questions WHERE userid IN (SELECT userid FROM
users WHERE zipcode = 2000);

I currently use the latter, but as subselects aren't ready yet I'm
currently selecting userids and then creating the select statement that
gets id and title.

Regards Jacob
