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.

I had the same issue until my boyfriend googled it and we learned that it dries the clothes using the steam the dryer/wet clothes produces. So when the timer goes off it still feels damp, but then I’ll take it out and throw it on the bed and in 2 seconds it’s dry to the touch. I used to run the dryer a bunch of times thinking it should feel dry after the timer goes off, but 2 seconds out of the dryer and they’re perfectly dry. Would have never known if we didn’t look it up and it was really frustrating for a while
