I think it's rather that the motor spin-up time is slower. Motor speed
itself would not seem to have a direct relation to power
consumption. On the Sharp MD-MT831 the top end motor RPM (400-1350rpm)
is actually higher than on mainstream units (400-900rpm), I've always
assumed this was to save power since you can read faster and the
amount of time you need to run the motor is less.

I did have my MZ-R90 mute on me once while on a Nordic-track. That's
never happened with my MZ-R50 (same Nordic-track, same pocket).
