Non Spinnaker down wind in light air Log-In to Post/Reply

We sail non spinnaker and were wondering that in very light air would it be benifical to partialy roller furl the genoa to get better flow instead of it just hanging there and doing nothing. We race PHRF and are controlled by the J measurement as to pole lenght. So is the sail area lost worth the better shape and the ability to "heat it up" with out gyping and reaching way off?
