Milt - I always thought this way, especially when I road raced 2-stroke motorcycles and did my own porting.
BUT, in the last few years, the snowmobile crowd has had great success with 2-stroke Turbos....The old issue was wasting the fresh charge out the exhaust, but good design of expansion chambers solves this.
Currently getting 250/hp out of .8 liter engines (800cc). Pretty fast in a 500 lb package...Race gas is a must due to the high compression. Also, compression/heat change with temp and elevation making tuning very critical.
