Paging Andrew, or anyone else who has tried cutting with a traditional short-tanged dha/daab.

I have read that the pressure-fit short tang is used because it reduces vibration when contact is made. Is it true that a dha/daab with a short tang vibrates less than a similarly-sized & shaped sword with a long or full tang?
