How about picking?  The reason I ask is we were planning on getting the
GT upgrade for our 4D/70's, but discovered that picking was
significantly slower with the GT upgrade (6 times slower with 3.0, 
2 times slower with 3.1 -- we have 3.2 but have not ran our benchmarks yet).

Now we have lots of 4D/20's that our users want to upgrade.  Will the
turbo upgrade slow picking down?
