Just be sure when you short stroke that the data on the other part of the partition isnt accessed very much. If it is, it essentially defeats the purpose of the SS in the first place.
Not entirely. The drives are still plenty fast from beginning to end, but here we are just isolating the faster part from the relatively slower part. You want your OS and programs to have access to the faster part. Even if the storage data on the slower part is accessed often it will still rely on a program from the faster part to utilize it, and that program will load the data it needs into RAM.
Also, if you have a good defrag program it will move files that are used more often to the fastest part of the given array.
