Rice – Downside of ‘Turbo’ mode on rice cooker

rice-cooker

My rice cooker has an optional Turbo mode when cooking rice. The mode is off by default.

As I understand, the upside is that rice cooks faster. What's the downside?

I have one of the Cuckoo cookers with a Turbo mode. The one (slight) downside is that white rice will come out a bit more... gooey? with the Turbo cooking. It's not bad and seems to primarily affect smaller batches. If you let the rice rest a bit and plan on tossing it with oil or butter (or just don't mind stickier rice), it's definitely workable.
