Not entirely true Parasite Long wars benefit you if your winning because it helps you EXPAND (via conquering/glassing enemy planets) and keeps your enemy from expanding.

PBW experience leads me to agree with Parasite in this case. Prolonged wars hurt you in the long run because you expand more slowly than the rest of the empires, thus leaving you behind even if you win. Fast early wars put you way ahead, but slow ones put you behind.
