I would have thought the opposite.....with the clutch depressed, the input
shaft is disengaged and the only thing turning is the engine. Whereas,
with the clutch not depressed and the car in neutral, the starter has to
turn the engine and the input shaft.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Two hot too shart?
When your Healey sits hot and does not want to start, try placing it in
neutral, do not depress the clutch, and hit the starter. Several years ago I
was having that problem in the Florida summers when I ran it and stopped for
while. The temp gauge would go up to over 212 when it sat for a short time.
Starting the car without the clutch being depressed appears to lessen the
drag
on the starter and the engine spins faster.
