Pretty interesting test they did up in Wales:
Still fastest on DH tracks: Downhill bikes.
Fastest trailbikes: 29"
27,5"+ is basically sh!t due to punctures and wobblyness.
I think 29" DH bikes will be seen in the future. For certain tracks like Ft. BIll for example it makes totally sense. Less fatigue = moar faster.
