There might be something to it. When I have transitioned from the A320 to A330 I have noticed that landing distances are roughly ~1000ft more for typical landing weights.

This is even though the approach speeds are very similar and autobrake deceleration is the same between these two types. Haven't seen any official Airbus data on this, but my gut feeling is that it's the de-rotation that accounts for the increased landing distance.

The only thing that is significantly different is the de-rotation, which takes significantly more time on the A330 compared to the 320.
