How does MOI (moment of inertia) effect the flight characteristics of a helicopter?

As MOI is increased the helicopter becomes increasingly sluggish.  :-/  It's the same affect as when you lower the (so-called) Realism control.  Many like to believe this increases stability.  Not so.  Helicopters are NOT stable.  Sluggishness increases but stability (or lack of it) remains unchanged.
