Another noteworthy point is thermal mass
Those power/time graphs are really showing functions of internal temperature. As the motor heats up, its performance diminishes and even after a match it takes a while for recuperation.
source and
source 2
3 miniCIMs weigh more than 2 CIMs, and thus have greater thermal mass. If both systems were loaded equally (and the motors were equally efficient) the decreased loading/motor and therefore amps/motor of the miniCIMs should result in them running cooler. This is not important on a 1 match basis, but in an eliminations scenario, every degree counts.
