I think it's meant to have a low heat signature, so efficiency was probably part of the consideration (less heat to shed).

Reminds me of E.E. "Doc" Smith's diesel-powered stealth spaceship in First Lensmen (1950)

If it has a little battery it could for a short duration have an even lower heat signature by turning off the turbine.
