Malcolm,

My theory (more of a guess), is that the regular firing of the sync
gap creates fewer wild surges in the transformer, that the 
regular firing also allows for setting the safety gaps closer for
better neon protection, and that no gap firings are skipped, again
because of the steady firing of the sync gap.   As far as overall
power disapation in the tranny...I would suppose that any tranny 
can survive a load of double or triple its rating, as long as it is not
run for more than 30 seconds to 1 minute at a time, since it won't
have time to heat up very much.
