Alan, I beg to disagree!
Only the bottom surfaces of gliders are "turbulated", on the top wing the point
of change from laminar to turbulent flow is too dependent of the angle of attack
and moves substantially front and aft with speed changes.  Have another look the
next time you are at a glider port.
