While removing weight never hurts from a performance standpoint, I'd like to see some quantitative evidence that making CV joints lighter really makes a difference. Mass moment of inertia is the important quantity here, and I don't see a CV joint being a big contributor to the overall mass moment for the whole system. Hold a CV joint in your hand and spin it about it's axis of rotation - not too much resistance to spinning. Do the same thing with a pressure plate....
