This was definately the case with the "old school" white ceramic balls. Those when combined with the cermaic ring lasted forever!! With stock rings, you had to count the number of runs!
The new balls are a bit different though. Their main benefit is their lightweight (I think about 7 or 8g of rotating mass if memory serves). The hardness is very similar to carbide balls. The newer balls use a cermic nitride coating, so the base material is actually lighter and softer, but due to the coating, they are similar hardness without the weight. Wear should be similar to carbide balls.
