The variance in full-ring is roughly half when I play short-stacked. With a full stack mine is 36PTBB/100, with a short-stack it is around 20. This means that I can play higher limits than with a full stack (I do not do it but this would be possible) and it is less stressful.
For someone with >10 PTBB/100 it does not make sense to go to a short-stack strategy, since you make a lot less money. But I would bet here are some guys who do not reach these 10PTBB

So far it is actually making more money than my normal win/rate, especially at these super rocky tables. At one time yesterday the *highest* average vpip was somewhere below 25% and one table was at 16%, not exactly my favorite setting, this strategy however should be working without table selection.

I think Ed's book talks about a real shallow stack of only 10 BB's. Some sites require 20 bets and now you still have some bets left in your stack when you take a flop.
We were discussing this strategy today at work as my co-worker plays it while trying to win bonus money.

JJ UTG
I'm not sure it is profitable to push JJ when UTG. Assuming people play perfectly against you (ie: calling with AA-QQ and folding everything else). It's 0.6% chance to get AA, so with ONE player left to act he'd have a 1.8% chance of having a better hand than you, but with 9 players I figure the chance of nobody having a better hand would be only about 85%. So assuming they play perfect you increase your stack with 1.5bb 85% of the time but on average lose 11.7bb the other 15% of the time, making it a -1.3bb EV move against perfect players.
Obviously this is incredibly simplified. It doesn't consider multiway pots, the fact that you could get called by inferior hands etc. I have however been doing different calculations and considering other things and I still end up on the fence, does anyone have any theories or enough of a sample size to shed some light on this? It seems like most people advocate pushing it.
