Too high a RSG speed will produce thin stringy sparks due to low energy
being dumped into the sec coil and then not enough time to build the high
currents necessary to produce nice white discharges.  Sometimes the long
stringy sparks are actually longer but they are not as much fun to watch or
photograph.
