How does the Quick optimization actually do differently, as compared
to the standard optimize? The flyer didn't explain what it avoided
doing to get so quick.

It's $10 for the upgrade PLUS $10 shipping and handling. Given that
the new product lists for only $39 and the upgrade doesn't actually DO
anything different in the long run (besides some slightly nicer displays)
the price didn't seem worthwhile to me. I do love DiskExpress, however,
and I'm not faulting the makers, it's just that the product is so
cheap already that paying 50% more for a upgrade that does essentially the
same stuff doesn't cut it for me.
For the person who asked: I got a flyer in the mail about 2 weeks ago
describing the upgrade to this and some other products like Font/DA Juggler.
