So if the spell lets a character shoot a crossbow once every 6 turns, it's technically just as fast as the D&D spell, even though GURPS allows for a larger amount of individual actions being taken within that timeframe. And it can feel like the GURPS crossbowman is doing far less than their D&D cousin, despite them actually performing the same in "real" time, in large part because other characters can take more actions other than "reload and aim" in the same amount of time.
