It makes projects run faster, although some people find that it makes projects less precise. To run a project in Turbo Speed in Scratch 1.4, go to Edit > Set Single Stepping, and select "Turbo Speed". Hope this helps  smile

It makes the project run a whole lot faster... Like, a LOT faster.

From experience I would have to agree with this. It does go a LOT faster but does make some scripts less reliable. I think it can be worth it sometimes when displaying your project on a slow machine.
