I find it odd that roller bearings aren't used in other places in the engines. And wouldn't a bearing with more surface area provide more inertia and friction thus slowing the engine?[/QUOTE]

Roller bearings are only used where shat deflections are very small as they don't tolerate
angular misalignment.
Rolling resistance ( friction)and inertia would be similar to ball bearings.
