If improving initial climb over an obstacle is your intent, then lifting off at a normal speed and holding it down while accelerating clear of the surface will reduce the drag of the wheels being in contact (particularly on grass), resulting in faster acceleration. Holding it on in a little airplane for more than just a few more kts/mph for a gusty XW is a rookie error.
