How is my HE drier more efficient if I have to run a load multiple times to actually dry clothes?

I used to have a drier from the late 90s which dried my clothing in one go. The one I have now takes 3 or 4 goes. Apparently the new one is more efficient but I don’t understand how that can be.

Wouldn’t it take up more energy due to the extra cycles?

edit- I would really appreciate it if someone explained how the drier is more efficient than my old one instead of questioning my laundering habits. I clear the lint trap and load small loads. I even switch the settings to “most dry”. I’m not the issue here. This “high efficiency” drier is.

It’s not–like most modern high efficiency appliances, they measure only usage at the wall outlets and completely ignore other things like usage patterns and the entire production supply chain on these pieces of failure-prone equipment that don’t last nearly as long as their ‘inefficient’ cousins of yesteryear.
