I think there are some pulse power applications where the larger 
thermal mass of the resistive element in composition resistors absorb 
the pulses better.  But high resistance value comp resistors don't do 
as well as low value ones, because of the high peak voltage applied to 
produce high peak power in a high value resistor.  You get voltage 
break down problems, instead of peak power problems.
