I cannot speak to the Martin Frosts of the world, but as I play higher on the clarinet, the part of the reed that vibrates gets smaller. Consequently the response to the air (and any interruptions of air) become more sensitive the higher I go. I have yet to be able to double tongue successfully in the altissimo and quite frankly the last bit of the clarion can be somewhat hit or miss.

So I'd say the better you are, and the harder you work to achieve this technique, the better it gets throughout the range, but it is harder the higher you go.
