    It's just faster, but in 99.999% of the application you don't need it that fast.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Theoreticaly it should be twice as fast, since with the 8 lines you send one byte while with 4 lines you have to send two nibbles.
