The research in question not just idle speculation. if you want to hear the podcast where I heard this go over to Twittv and the security now podcast and wade thru the show until you get to the section.

This issue will only affect those who keep their browser open all the time with lots of tabs
Even if you dont increasing the recovery delay should make for a more snappy experience as recovery data not being backed up so frequently?
I think if you want to turn OFF this tab backup facility then set this key to false
browser.sessionstore.enabled
which is what I think I will do
My 'theoretical facts' come from SSD test data (as reported by the manufacturers who thoroughly test SSDs). As for the recovery data, I prefer being able to recover web pages over keeping lots of tabs open.
