| Wow! It's quite interesting that more of us use the hyphenated version. Semifinal and semiquaver are my earliest recollections of the use of the prefix in question - without a hyphen, of course. I always omit the hyphen in my usage, however, I'm quite sure that sometimes it's required... you tell me.

| I think the written depends on the spoken, and vice versa. If it someone writes "semi-colon", then the person will say "seh-my colon". Alternately, if someone writes semicolon, they will say "seh-mee colon". Also if there is a hyphen I think there tends to be a very small pause between the words.
