It could be that much more efficient if they'd get rid of the 90* drive gear, even if it's not a gear and it's connected by a flexible driveshaft to go around the 90* bend, hysteresis (I believe the correct term) still drains part of the power necessary to turn the shaft, and to transfer power at a 90* angle.
