My AMATEUR guess is that it is due to the riders being closer together
on upright tandems than on recumbent tandems. If you've done any
pace-lining, you realize that drafting efficiency is higher dependent
upon getting the trailing cyclist as close to the front one as
possible.

I would agree with the above. If you want a /fast/ recumbent tandem, you
really need to make the stoker face backwards.

The couple in the Chicagoland area that owns a Micwic BTB tandem moves
along quite well on it.
