I would think that the opposite would be true - the material would not be sufficiently stiff. I'm pretty sure titanium frames are lauded for having excellent resiliency similar to a steel ride. Some stronger riders might consider (earlier) titanium frames to be wet noodles. Titanium seatposts and stems are sometimes spec'd to soften the ride and mute buzzing.
It you type in Wittson into eBay, you will find some frames by Lithuanian custom titanium framebuilder Wittson. He had a several custom titanium forks on there. The road version costs over $1,100. Personally, I think having a titanium fork to go with my Wittson Illuminati titanium compact frame would be super cool.
