A smaller stroke might be less aggressive in one sense, but it also means the teeth of the cutter fill up with cut chips and never dumps them out for the next "stroke".
Now your cutting is worse because the wood chips are in the way.

Look above at Rob Macks post on how to use a jig saw. The less aggressive mode is achieved with the fine toothed metal cutting blade. And the stroke is enough to clean out the teeth so it continues cutting.
