Googles jQuery: Are There Avantages to Using It?

The big advantages are the Google CDN and the client side caching of the library. Your visitor will probably have a version of the jquery library in the browsers cache already, so he doesn’t have to re-download the script from the local version used by WordPress.

One big disadvantage by including the library from the cloud: You have to trust Google.
