at the point of actual catch it seems nothing, in the moments prior, quite possibly something...when you are really tiny you have to do more than a heavier person to get the same result, if your belay device of choice makes some tasks easier - ie taking/giving slack - then its making a difference in my mind. if i was in situation where the belay was marginal i would be reaching for the gri gri because i know it gives me better rope handling than the atc...marginal situations are slightly more common when you are tiny
