Second the motion.  When you need verbatim hardcopy (as opposed to
"conversation") 5-letter coded groups are FAR FAR easier to copy at high
speed.  Copying without having to "understand" what is being sent allows
the characters to be "reflex copied", almost like a short circuit between
your eardrums and fingertips without being "processed" in your conscious
mind.  

Not to dispute the Guinness record, but when I saw 43 WPM I thought it must
be a misprint.
