that doesn't make this question any less relevant. even a 1% advantage over a longer distance is significant. While I agree comfort is first, that doesn't mean it takes the cake. If I can save 10-15 minutes a day by having better shoes, lighter bike, more aero position, without sacrificing comfort, I'll take it.
