That is the conventional wisdom - but there again conventional wisdom ten or less years ago had it that the rev ceiling in F1 would be about 15,000 rpm! Generally it is true that the smaller the pistons and valvegear the higher the rpm potential, but that wisdom assumes that you haven't already run into the ceiling for another reason, such as the harmonics in the (long) crank.
