From what I've read, one of the areas of advancement has also been better control over acceleration, with "soft" starts and stops at the end of motion. This would reduce wear and tear and power consumption, and allow for faster motion, since the peak speed in the middle of motion can be higher without damaging things. Older control systems didn't have this capability to the same degree.
