maybe it's a stupid question, but: if 'permanent - returns permanent
redirect with code 301' (http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpRewriteModule), then
why one should use 'return 301 URL' instat?

or its more about to avoid rewriting rules generaly? if yes, why is this
so? a few weeks ago, i followed a discussion about to avoid if-rules
because of performance with large rule sets. but i can't see this argument
with one rewriting rule, which only takes action at first connect from
client to server.

it's just a little bit confusing for me 'cause of so many poorly writen
config examples around the web, and it's the first time i see this way
with 'return 301 URL' for redirecting example.org to www.example.org.
