Default RE: .22 mag: Worth it?

From reports I have read the 22 WRM doesn't develop any real edge over the .22lr in pistols. Only in rifles does the 22 mag develop the much greater performance. Supposedly its due to the slow burning powders in the .22mag that basically just create greater muzzle flash in revolvers due to the short barrel. Don't know for certain but the chronograph results I ve seen claimed seem to support it. hope it helps.
