Pos, to this uneducated mind does the chart on the right mean the Compufire RR keeps more power going to the bike's accessories?

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

No not really, I am looking at the maximum current that the Compufire will flow . Since it is Series that is all going to the electrical system so that is about the best estimate of total current coming from the R/R. Multiply that by the voltage delivered and you have total power delivered.
I also have direct measurements of the R/R output but this graph was more convenient.
We can gather from the Compufire design (not these charts), that there is more power delivered because it is more efficient (i.e. has lower voltage drops). That probably means in a side by side comparison it will push a little more current. I don't have those measurements to confirm that. I would not expect it to be a lot more.

Your 217.5 watts seems about what the article also claimed for the 1981 GS1100E.
