What are the differences in opening speed/altitude by parachute size or shape? The prevalent view on skydiving forums seems to be that smaller and round is the fastest, but, like r.a.s., it's kind of hard to sort who really knows what they are talking about (yes, I'm aware of the irony of asking this question here).

Opening time/distance is a wash. You want to be open higher? Train to get out of your glider and train to find and pull the ripcord. Add a static line.
