Ref - <This capacitance reduction will also be very minimal ... The lateral capacitance will go up due to closer spacing while the vertical capacitance will go down due to reduced area. These will almost "wash out" and thus will not impact performance significantly >

You are correct that capacitance per unit length of the interconnect will be unchanged. However the length of the interconnect will be reduced linearly, reducing the total interconnect capacitance.

So a small improvement in performance should be expected.
