You are no newbie here, why haven't you checked the BIG NEC FAQ?

Well, actually this is not correct. The README is exactly the same for 'original', 'fast' and 'RPC1'; this one is from 2A5C_orig.zip:
"LD2510 Modified Firmware Version 2A5C

RIPLOCK removed
RPC1 Patch
Full Bitsetting on DVD+R/RW/DL

This firmware is based on Liggy’s 205cbt with full Bitsetting support


-R media
RITEK G04 > 8X
ProdiscS03 > 8X
MXL RG02 >8X
Added RITEK F1 @8x

+R
All RITEK R03 >8X
All DAXON AZ2 > 8X
Prodisc R02 > 8X
All RICOH JPNR01 > 8X
CMC MAG F01 > 8X
All RICOH JPNR 00 > 6X
MBI PG101R03 > 8X
Added Ritek R05 @8x

More MIDs will be speeded if there is a demand.
Bitsetting on +R and +RW can be added if there is a demand for this firmware"

This was the cause of my silly question!

Looks like Dee sometimes doesn't create an accurate description for her firmwares.
