The discussion has gone along the lines of discussing efficiency along 
electrical terms usually evaluated in terms of physics.  However, the 
fellows at Freescale are precisely correct (as well as those 
knowledgeable in using the Cell and PowerPC to it's advantage) if one is 
discussing efficiency in terms of computer architecture and the 
subcategory of memory design regarding how data is passed between the 
registers.  The same term means completely different things in different 
fields. 

I'm sure everyone is familiar with that. 

Remember that in Biology it can be successfully argued that compared to 
insects, humans are the least efficient living organism. 
Viruses are even more efficient of course, but they are not living.

Best wishes ...
