Post Winglets?

Great article in this months AERO about winglets.

It appears from the runway length limit diagram that winglets will not provide any increase in runway length take off performance on the 737 until lenghts above 6000'. I would think that the slow flight regime would be an area that you would expect performance to benefit.

Any winglet experts out there care to comment?
