In fact, the smaller clutch reservoir will require more frequent changes because of the dust, or you will eventually end up with WORSE engagement.
If you track your car, you are going to see a lot of clutch dust in your system. You can choose to keep that dust separate from the brake system and bleed only the clutch or bleed the whole system. Larger reservoir might buy you more time but either way it's going to have to be bled. Contaminated fluid does affect clutch release.

Bottom line, performance driving requires performance equipment and even more importantly, performance oriented maintenance.
