Any constraints such as space make a brain in a box more efficient than a simulation of that same brain.
Note, the computing substrate may not map to what the Brain’s thinks it’s substrate is, but that would still impose effects from the real world onto the mind. The equivalent of a cosmic ray flipping a bit in the hardware would actually flip something in the mind where a simulation could detect and correct such errors at the cost of overhead.
