I suspect it because we are increasing freq based on the assumption: "If increase in load from last calculation is more then threshold, then we must use high freq"..
So, this rise can be false alarm multiple times and we might not see a load increase after moving to high freq and so we are running at high/max freq without any need of it. And so more power.
