STRUCTURAL vs SPEED in PrusaSlicer MK3.9 profiles

I successfully did the MK3S to MK3.9 upgrade this week (takes a while, probably 12 or 14 hours spread over 3 days.) Then I reconfigured Prusa Slicer to remove the MK3S profiles and install the MK3.9.

I have not succeeded in finding any documentation on what the "Print Settings" for the MK3.9 mean by the word "STRUCTURAL". I suppose I know that "SPEED" means print fast regardless of quality. But what does STRUCTURAL mean and where do I look for documentation?

RE: STRUCTURAL vs SPEED in PrusaSlicer MK3.9 profiles

You can find explanation here:

https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/releases/tag/v5.0.0-RC1

Structural - settings are focused on quality, precision and structural integrity while retaining reasonably high printing speed (still much faster than pre-input-shaper era). Looking for high-quality and durable prints delivered quickly? This is your go-to option.

Speed - short printing times are the top priority here. This profile pushes the printer closer to its limits while keeping good quality and accuracy.

Thanks @gregory-verba for the link. Looking in the firmware release for slicer documentation hadn't occurred to me. Now its become obvious that the two software products are being developed as if they were just one.
