Mechanism Quality

Does the quality of mechanisms you use in linking your lever to a other thing reduce the amount of ticks needed before it happens, and does distance matter too?

I got fed up with my fortress, so I decided to kill everyone (abandon is for elves) with a cave-in.

OK, cave-ins were always pretty deadly, but with the new falling object damage they are downright brutal.  As far as I can make out from the logs, many people were killed by the flying bodies of other victims.  One baby's corpse ricocheted off three other people, two walls and the floor.

I would think it would just be a value thing. Using higher quality components would raise building quality right?

Currently, quality of mechanisms only affect how accurately weapon traps work.
Though putting an artifact mechanism in a well creates rooms with ridculously high value.
