The window that the kite can travel in is also smaller since the lines are shorter, this allows the kite to travel across the window faster, which is another reason you need to work it more. The shorter windows also allows you to stear the kite out of the window quickly. I got some funstrating first hand expreience on jim's 9m jojo on really-frickin-short lines a few weeks back.
