Back in Tandy 6000 days, when "twice as fast" meant 15 seconds versus
30 seconds, it meant a lot.  Today, when it means  15 milliseconds
versus 30 milliseconds, it has less meaning.  :-)

Like the name "QuikStart", which meant things like the Medical Office
System could be loaded in 20 seconds instead of 2 minutes.
