I don't think it was significantly faster, but when I tried it with a dialup modem in the 90s, I did notice it was at least a little faster than ANSI.

I believe TheDraw (one of the most popular ANSI editors) could save in Avatar. I used TheDraw to edit my ANSI menus in the 90s, and I remember having it save in both ANSI and Avatar formats.
