Do chains on smaller wheels generally wear out faster than bigger wheels?

Riding a Brompton as my daily commuter, realised I'm already at 0.5 wear close to the 1000km mark, on my bigger bike I can get more mileage out of a single chain and cassette.

Koolstop tire bead jack question

Does anyone use this to put hard to fit tyres by hand? Is it effortless as advertised? Planning to use this on my Marathons on the Brompton, which I spent almost an hour just to get it on, ugh.
