All PAL releases have been sped up from 24 fps to 25 fps because PAL is 25 fps. Maybe that is what the chart is referring to... I dunno.


It's not - PAL laserdiscs can store longer movies anyway (the SEs all fit on a single disc). They really did "time compress" NTSC ones, but I've never been able to figure out whether they dropped frames here and there, or just upped the framerate a bit, but still within tolerance of an NTSC TV.
