I know a normal SNG 10+1 generally takes 60-75 minutes to complete. (assuming you place ITM)
I gave the 25+2 Turbo SNG a try, finished 3rd place and that took around 40 minutes I believe.

If you multi-table for a few hours a day, you would be able to play a couple extra games and therefor increase your hourly win rate. That is of course if you can maintain the same ROI.

Turbo means the blinds go up every 5 minutes, where as the normal SNG increases the blinds every 10 minutes.

I've found that my ROI decreases playing turbo-type games -- ie, Party vs. Stars normal tourneys -- but I can play about twice as many games, so my hourly rate increases. Makes sense I guess, since in a turbo game you'll be in more push/fold situations.
