Is there a chance it would be more efficient to run a relatively fast processor and race to idle instead?

  no

    Why not? It works for laptops.

      other than constant dissipative losses perhaps, I fail to see how speed of computation would effect efficiency for irreversible computers. you can use arbitrarily small amounts of energy to perform a computation with reversible computers. can you explain why racing to finish with a laptop saves energy vs computing the same thing at a lower clock speed?
