From the article:
"CC: A gear-reduction starter turns the flywheel slower. However, with the extra torque/kw, does it speed up cranking of the engine so that it is similar in speed to a normal non-gear-reduction starter?
PM: Oftentimes the cranking speed difference is either non-existent or not noticeable at all. Since a high-torque starter is working so much easier to turn over the engine, it can seem as though the cranking speed is actually faster, and in some cases, it is. Powermaster offers different gear ratios to generate either more cranking torque or faster cranking for engines that are particularly difficult to start."
