In an open differential, if one wheel loses traction will allow all the power
to go to that wheel instead of the one with traction.  A limited-slip
differential allows for a limited amount of slip before it locks up, so it
allows the outer wheel to spin faster through a turn, but will always put
_some_ power to _both_ wheels.  This is dictated by the lockup rate.

The lower the lockup rate the better top speed, if I remember correctly, the
higher the lockup rate, better accelaration out of corners due to less
inside wheelspin.  The 933(?) Porsches raced by Brumos in the late
seventies had a solid rear axle because even with a high lockup rate on
the LSD, they were so powerful that the inner wheel would spin
_excessively_  There are pictures somewhere, it's amazing.

I think that's the short answer...
