well i believe that all this is pointless after one point. id rather study more to become faster in my feet than try all those gadgets that come around and miss the whole point. i cant see how they will make my eliminators faster and honestly i dont care
but ok, any "improvement" is welcome
for me, all i care in a pedal is not to woble left and right, and also to have a smooth surface so that my foot doesnt stuck when i slide

ball bearing is allready present on the spring of high end TAMA IRON COBRA 900 pedals ...

i think the point isnt just speed , but having less frictions and inertia ....

For me , it sounds more like an improvement than a gadget .

thats why i use belt and not chain. less friction
dont get me wrong, all these things are great, but it is easy to lose focus on whats important. just my 2 cents
