"increased stability of the whole bike while cornering"
This is the important peice of information, and what I have been 'hanging' for someone to say on any thread about this topic. As an old 'bike' rider, most of the reason I get of the bike is so that I can better help the bikes suspension settle the bike through bumps and surface changes in the real world. Race tracks have a far more consistant surface. The real world does not. Forget being faster around a bend. You can go faster around a similarly tight corner on a track on any day. But in the real world I try to make sure that the bike is as stable as it can be. You can better manage the bikes stability by being a suspension component yourself and let the bike settle under you when you know how to correctly hang off. Not nessessarily faster but more stable and hence, safer. My two cents worth.
