Default "need" a venturi?

My understanding about the various venturi sizes is that they serve two purposes. In no particular order those purposes are:

A. Gas Mileage

B. Traction control (so the car is not "overpowered" and out of control.)

Is there any other purpose(s) the venturis serve? Also, if neither of the aforementioned items is an issue for me, is there any benefit to putting a smaller venturi in the carb?

Thanks for your help.
