What is the difference in desolving a lump of sugar and powdered sugar?

Assuming the solvent liquid is hot enough to dissolve all of the sugar and that the "lump" is more coarse than the powder, putting in the higher-density lump would impose diffusion-limited decomposition. In other words, putting in powdered sugar would allow faster absorption into the liquid, since there is more surface area of sugar exposed to the solvent. However, air resistance of small sugar particles between the powder source and solvent could lead to loss through in the pouring process, limiting the efficiency of sugar saturation.
