Default Corm size vs Pup removal

Mikevan got me thinking with this sentence.

"but then, I like the huge corms that develop if you leave a few pups connected together"

I believe commercial growers just top the pups as they come up right? I have done this myself when I don't want the pups or don't have time to dig and remove them for replanting.

Do you think the corm gets bigger and makes bigger and more fruit faster by leaving the pup corms attached and just removing the tops?
