I can agree with that.
A lot of times people don't have the enough compression for the cam, so matching those would yield more as opposed to being nuts on [cam/comp] and then raising it. More compression will pull harder on the valve/port and the closer that piston gets to the valve the sooner the signal initiates flow, in some cases engines with big port volume heads might respond more too.

Whatever the case may be, yep, thats true.
