Another example of plasma fluid flow affecting fuel efficiency in an unintuitive way

There are no fusion generators connecting their output back into fusion reactors in my example layouts, so I don't think that is relevant here.
EDIT: I also haven't seen any evidence that plasma is being lost.

When two fusion reactors are connected by plasma ports and running at 50% load, one of the reactors works at 100% and the other at 0%. This reduces the neighbour bonus and therefore fuel efficiency of the system. In some cases, 70% higher fuel efficiency is achieved by avoiding the plasma connectors ...
