Specialty Engines don't exist for performance reasons. They exist to defer General Purpose Engine upgrades which WILL increase software licensing charges. See my Share presentation at www.share.org in the EWCP project.

Um, I believe that all the specialty engines always run at full speed, whereas a CP may not (if it's sub-capacity).
