Indeed. But also keep in mind that DCs don't "suck" so much; rather than move large volumes of air at a given speed and that's what moves the material...air flow. Pressure is low compared to a vacuum like a shop vac or what you use in your home for floors. The more air a DC can move, the better the performance for dust collection. Duct size and design is very much in play around that, too, because bends and hose add fictional loss that inhibit air flow.
