Difference in CF cards?

What's the difference between hi-speed CF card and profi Hi-speed CF card
(Apacer Photo Steno pro)? Profi is somewhat more expensive, although not
much. Normal speed one is way cheaper, but it's too slow for movie to work
for longer time...so it's out of my choice.
Is it like data is safer with such card - maybe made more reliable...?

If your camera is somewhat "Pro" check the Rob Galbraith CF
Performance Database - for "regular" 2-4 megapixel compact digicams
the non-Pro should suffice.

So, as i see, the difference is in speed and reliability. I guess it's
worthed of that little extra money. I need high speed anyway, since my Canon
(S1 IS) shoots movie at 640x480 @30 fps and it needs it in order to save
movie fast enough.
