Rod length? Piston speed?

I think that a lot of the short stroke engines run a low deck block thus negating some some of the benefits of a long rod since you can only run so short of a compression height. But I did freshen an engine not to long ago that had a three inch stroke and 6.2 in rods in a standard block that was at the top of its class, made for some real light pistons.But there is just as many opinions as there are engine builders.
