The size of the opening where the rope enters and exits is much larger on a Rescue 8 and the bends which the rope must make are much longer and softer which allows the rope to move much easier and therefore faster.
They do typically have hooks which are used to slow down the movement and increase the friction significantly but that is a special application. I would not recommend using a rescue 8 for any rec or sport application ever.
