The 4% PAL speed-up is imperceptible to almost everyone. I have several films on both Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs and I don't notice any difference between even them!
Bearing in mind that the people most likely to notice the speed-up are musicians whose trained ears might - just might - perceive a minute difference in pitch caused by the speed-up, the fact that musicians in Europe do not complain about the PAL effect suggests that those who make such a fuss about it are deluding themselves. A tiny minority of people with freakishly acute sensitivity might notice the speed-up, but the average movie-lover can purchase Region 2 DVDs without misgivings.
