Turbodos contains a disk-cache, new FAT-routines increasing the harddisk speed by a factor of 5-10 (at least) when writing files, and new GEMDOS- routines. If you use a harddisk and currently have a FOLDRxxx.PRG installed in your auto-folder, the you should remove it, since Turbodos takes care of the old gemdos 40-folder bug.
