I'm currently running a Dissector/Rekon combo, and while its \*not\* what I would choose for Shore grease and wet days on roots and rocks, it makes a strong case for faster rolling tires.
Obvious climbing benefits aside, its a sensation not unlike putting fresh bearings in a longboard; I find myself rolling into very familiar sections of trail (say, the flat part of Severed) and just kinda going "whoa, this is much faster than usual, with no effort".
But, there are limits (say, trying to slow the bike down after the drop at the top of Pingu) when things are moist.
