The most efficient power boost, probably. Not for the best fuel efficiency. That should be at the point where the engine delivers a comfortable amount of power for the speed driven. At legal speeds, that is mostly at lower rpm's with both diesel and petrol engines.

For my diesel it is between 1600 - 1900 rpm. Maximum torque at 2200 rpm.
