Bill,
         I've mulled this myself. Only thing I can think of is time, 
as it relates to the points operating. The electronic triggers, light 
or magnetic, are faster. So, lets say it takes 1/10th of a second to 
open the points... it is much faster than that, I hope....that 
almost-fixed amount of time becomes a greater percentage of the time 
it takes for 1 rotation of the shaft. So, the faster the rotation, 
higher RPM, the advance number will be different as the time it takes 
for the points to open, and the coil collapsing is greater 
proportionally than with an almost instantaneous electronically 
triggered system.

         I hope I expressed that correctly. I'm sure an engineer will 
correct me. I know the rocket scientist is off-list at present ;-)

         Ciao      Peter C.
