Suckers won't slow you down even if they might annoy you.
If you couldn't drop them later, there's no particular reason you'll have much luck dropping them earlier. If you're actually stronger, you'll drop them without trying on climbs. If you burn up your stuff dropping them, they'll just latch on to another group which will then catch and pass you later.
