Questions on FastSkin suits

Should wearing a FastSkin suit give the same performance benefits of shaving whatever area the FastSkin covers? Also, do people generally only wear them for "big meets" - like how swimmers would typically only shave for big meets? i.e. do college kids today wear them for all dual meets, or only for championships? Would you lose some of the benefit if you wore them too much? Thanks for any info!

    Why can't "they" design a fastskin body suit that is sooo resistant to drag that when you dive in you simply soar like a torpedo underwater all the way to the other end of a 25 yard pool (in like 10 seconds or less...that is if you maintained a fairly close to perfect streamlined position of course)? That would be a sad day when races were won by the swimmers who had the most money and had the best suit, rather than by the best swimmer.
