A thought provoking comment, which is more effective and/or which is more
effcient: a Toyota Prius or a Hummer? Think about it.

It may be helpful to think in terms of effectiveness rather than
efficiency.
In either case the context within which one is acting, either effectively
or
efficiently is the key to the outcomes. I like effective because it has a
connotation of having a goal in mind. Efficiency is driven by a short term
objective of minimizing input and maximizing output. This over
simplification can divert ones attention from other goals and can become a
goal in itself.

In my view efficiency has its place as long as it is an appropriate place
given the full spectrum of needs associated with a process or project.
Like
any other powerful tool it must be used responsibly. This implies we
understand all the important ramifications of what we are doing
efficiently.
