It could be that they meant: "server-side efficiency", because the server-side port-selection of TMM is faster when there is a bigger pool to choose from:
It tries to preserve the client's source port, and then goes on a walk among all ports to find a free one if the preferred port can't be used. When there is a big pool of ports (more IPs mean more ports, as it's 65K per IP), then a new port will be found with a shorter walk.
