Correct.
By lengthening the conrod, you will be decreasing the peak piston acceleration. This, in turn, reduces the average piston speed. I am led to believe the current industry standard for maximum average piston speed is around 4000 ft/sec. Of course, by having new longer rods made, the materials used and the forging process will increase their strength and that limit can be upped.
By using a longer rod and decreasing the compression height of the piston, this allows the use of a shorter skirt piston. This will invariably be lighter and also less resistive forces on the bore. That said, if you were going to this expense, you'd probably be considering a moly coating on the skirts as well.
