Lower is almost always faster, so a more aerodynamic position leads to higher speed at same power. Regarding seatposts, I think more extension yields better vibration damping, and in turn, more comfort. Anyway, it's a complex matter, but if a rider can be comfy in a lower position and on a smaller frame, i think gains outweigh negatives.
