I've had the same knee pucks on my suit for over a year. Partially because I have that cursed A* SMX-Plus suit with the damned locking pucks and I can't find them anymore.
I can tell you though, after I took the Pridmore school, my body position improved drastically, the bike felt more comfortable, and my knee-dragging became a much smoother "skim" and the puck would only actually touch at the apex of a corner. I was actually dragging knee with my leg against the fairings in a few turns at SMMR.
After racing for a while though, I can tell you there's more to it. Talking and working with the guys who are a lot faster than me, they go through pucks like mad when they try and push their times down. They will actually put their body weight on the puck to let the bike carry more corner speed. I'm not good enough to do that yet, but if I figure out exactly how, I'll let you all know =P
