Supposedly the "turbo" rating only means that one has greater than three conections to hosts (correct if wrong, plz). According to my research on the gnutella network protocol, three are sufficient, and with improvements in the offing, it is said that only one will be enough. Whether or not the improvements I read about are still scheduled for implementation, I do not know, since the document I had was somewhat dated (c. 2003?). FWIW, I have noticed no significant decrease in hits switching fro LWPro to FW due to reduced hosts connections (this only amounted to a decrease of 2 to 3 anyway).
