As unspung mass increases, greater inertia builds in the suspension system, SLOWING DOWN its ability to respond to fast direction changes and degrading traction due to the reduced ability of the suspension to control the minute and high pitched occilations you see on the tyre surface contact patch with the road.

This is correct. Placing the shocks upside down will increase the rotational inertia of the suspension arms and therefore the movement of the suspension will be slower and less responsive.
