Perhaps it's worth noting that increasing stroke increases friction slightly (part of the reason high rev engines use shorter strokes is to reduce both stress on the rotating assembly but also friction), but decreases the combustion chamber surface area to volume ratio and hence cooling loss, which is important if you want to run the engine slowly.
