This is the first time I have heard of this pinky resting on the key idea. Logically it doesn't sound good because if you have to use that pinky on any other key you first have to move it (or slide it as suggested, which is doable but not the best idea unless necessary). Moving it off the key is an extra step.

I like Paul's idea of "hovering" and have used that term myself when teaching. I also have advised keeping fingers as close to the holes as possible without affecting the note's pitch. Again, the less movement you need to get to the next note the better. That is also my theory as to why I think playing Eb clarinet it a tiny bit easier for speed, since fingers are all closer together.
