James,
Very true. I agree that as the tempo increases it becomes more and more efficient to use forked F. And the color of the note, even if it is less than ideal on a given oboe, is less and less noticeable as the tempo increases. In the Tchaik 4 solo it's my preference to use left F throughout, switching from right Eb to left Eb or vice versa mid-note where necessary in order to manage the sequences of F-Eb-Db and Db-Eb-F. But that is neither here nor there. In any case, I agree that it's worthwhile to also improve and equalize the quality of the forked F. It's nice to have a couple viable options for such passages.
Cheers,
Drew
