The speed difference wasn't marginal; it was exponential.

Because it is a ROM replacement, it is always on. You don't need to load a "fast loader" program every time you turn the computer on. It makes the C64 feel like a much more modern machine. jiffydos-c64.bin

JiffyDOS-C64.bin is the ROM image file for JiffyDOS, an enhanced Basic and Kernal replacement for the Commodore 64. Originally developed by CMD (Creative Micro Designs), it is widely considered the gold standard for disk speed enhancement on 8-bit Commodore systems. Core Purpose The speed difference wasn't marginal; it was exponential

: Includes a built-in interactive file copier for moving data between drives or RAM expansion units. It makes the C64 feel like a much more modern machine

JiffyDOS was designed to solve this "serial bus" bottleneck. Unlike temporary software "fast loaders" that you had to load from a disk every time, JiffyDOS was a permanent hardware fix.

: Features like listing a directory or "typing" a sequential file ( @T ) occur without disturbing programs already in the computer's memory. Usage & Installation

On physical Commodore 64 hardware, this binary is burned onto an EPROM chip. This chip is then installed into the KERNAL socket on the motherboard, often using a "switcher" that allows you to toggle between the original Commodore KERNAL and JiffyDOS.
