Based on tests on my own TOS 1.0 based machine on QUICK ST 2.1 (the latest)
as compared to Turbo ST 1.8 (from an article on Genie), the BIOS text and
BIOS scroll are virtually the same at about 370% and 175% improvement.
Turbo ST is slightly better for BIOS string at 2094% to 1845%, but you'll
probably never notice the difference. Where Turbo ST is better is GEM
draw at 360% compared to 240%. This is probably a noticable difference.
You'll also have to consider the price difference and memory usage.
For me, it's QUICK ST all the way.
