Depend on the person, she need around 30-40mm from the saddle nose to the BB (using a specific saddle, some are longer/shorter than others).
Currently it's 20mm and the weight of your body is noticeable on your wrist and arm, setting it a little further back allow a lots less body weight on the handlebar.
With TT and the like, setting saddle forward is generally the optimised position for power, but you'll lose comfort, which is why the design of the TT handlebar help reduced the extra body weight being distributed on your arm/hand.
