You may find the 4% speedup to be the "least annoying" compromise, but I
can assure you that people in other parts of the world find it to be the
most annoying.
What it comes down to is very simple. Neither PAL nor NTSC is perfect.
Both have compromises. Viewers raised watching PAL material since
childhood tend not to be bothered by the 4% speedup but are very
irritated by 3:2 pulldown. Likewise, viewers raised watching NTSC
material since childhood tend not to be bothered by 3:2 pulldown but are
very irritated by PAL speedup.
This is why both formats should be abandoned as quickly as possible so
that true High Definition can finally take over.
