The speed of your breadboard circuit is not really relevant. The speed
of a VLSI ASIC or an FPGA is what 99.999% of people will care about.
There is a reason why DTL is no longer used. Besides, the circuit slows
down with every diode added.

Shottky TTL is really DTL under the covers. D's aren't used much for
logic because (bipolar) Ts aren't either but DTL certainly isn't dead.

Nice.
