"connected" UDP sockets simply means that you don't have to specify the destination address when sending the UDP datagram -- you can use send() instead of sendto(). There is no speed difference.
On a server, or any other system that talks to more than one other system, "connected" UDP sockets just get in the way. I never end up using them.
There is no measurable performance difference.

enum Bool { True, False, FileNotFound };
